  • Que Lo Que Mi Gente! Memphis Shades was very kind to send me a few shields to try when I got my new Road Glide. In this video I install and do a first impressions on the 6.5 Inch and the 10 Inch Shields. Look no further than Memphis Shades for all of your fairing and windshield needs!

    Great video bro I purchased the Memphis Shades 8.5 last year and have been rocking with it hard. It does a fantastic job deflecting the wind and bugs.

    Klock Werks 14" flare is what I use on my 2020 Roadglide Special and the 3 other Roadglides I had before. I like long trips and this one works great for me. It's not really 14" up, it comes out to be around 9". Looks great and does the job.

    I’ve been going back and forth with an 11” and a 13” with my bike, and where I’m at now is sticking with a 13” - as you’re showing here, those extra inches make a huge difference. Either way you go, looks so good, psyched on your new journey with this bike! 🗽⚡️

      You should record a quick video after install and show the size of it on the bike. And if you have a way to record while riding, that would be an awesome video for the 8.5. I'd watch it!

    Your review was good but I didn't hear you say your height. That's critical when deciding what size shield to buy.

    All windshields are tested in non real world conditions. What that means is under perfect non wind conditions ie wind tunnel testing you can develop a perfect airflow in a straight line. As noisy as the stock shield is its aerodynamically superior to the flip up in a head or crosswind. I wear a FF. These helmets are designed to function in a no windshield environment. Windshields interfere with their design. On a perfectly still day many windshields perform well to include the stock RGS shield. A flip up design is aerodynamically incorrect.

    • @BxPolymath
      @BxPolymath  3 роки тому

      I get what you are saying. The shields basically create more drag which for us, just reduces MPG. We don’t really “feel” it dragging. I wear a FF about 80% of the time, and I personally hate buffeting because it’s annoying. So my shield height is purely decided on avoiding that sensation.

  • @jnorm0075
    @jnorm0075 2 роки тому

    You are not supposed to be looking through these windshields. You never mention where your camera is but your not supposed to be looking through seeing distortion. That's crazy. Wrong size. Windshields at or below chin
