Awesome, appreciate the continued support!

It’s crazy how much of a difference it made. It’s just that little extra air flow direction change, that I didn’t know I needed. Thanks for sharing this !

Appreciate you sharing your experience, I agree it makes a difference. If it’s windy nothing makes a huge difference.

Great idea, and a quick easy fix. I watched your video and just did it on mine. Only took a few minutes! Works great, thanks for sharing

Can't hurt, just gives you a bit more adjustment!

So I did it. I have the klockwerks windshield and I’m 6-3”. Actually got more buffeting when open all way. Closing back to previous max was better. Just thought with diff situation

Thanks for this! I've been wondering why the vent only opens up halfway since I got the bike. Super easy modification. Haven't had time to ride since but I'm sure it kicks the wind over my head better now.

I notice more of a bubble that with it at the half way point. However if its a windy day there is no real difference.

It is wider that the Harley version so I suspect it works well, I have been very happy with the HD 10" though its mostly clear!

Useful video!! I think that little piece of extra material is actually meant to prevent the vent-lip to damage the paint in the inner part of the fairing. The wind will make it vibrate and rubs of the paint. But that's just my guess...

@ITFZone

Ай бұрын

Yep I have been watching for this while I ran without the trim. It does not go far enough to rub, BUT, if you close it all the way down as stock it does rub but not seen any damage but I rarely close it.

Clever thinking Tom 👍

Tom, really great idea and video. any riding results? did the mod help raise the wind more over your head. I am 5 9" so thinking i would get some benefit

@ITFZone

Ай бұрын

I ran without the trim through the winter and spring, kept adjusting from half to full up. Most of the time I felt like I had more of a bubble. Wind conditions change the effect at half or full for sure. In the end I found I preferred to leave it all the way up which led me to see how much I could get by removing the nub on the trim. In the video you see my first time seeing how much adjustment the mod would add and I for sure was surprised. You can get the full motion of adjustment by eliminating that small nub!

I'm 6'3 , going to do this today as I say to myself... Why didn't I think of this???

I don't understand why Harley went to the trouble to add the 'nub' that limits the blade travel, it doesn't make sense to me.

I pondered this as well. I wondered if the computer modeling showed a negative effect going beyond that point. Really not sure but I believe it works better modified for me anyhow.

Good thing or bad thing? Sad state of such a historic company.

do you really need the full range as on a streetglide the vent and dash is closer to the rider compared the roadglide where it is futher away so the air will dispusrse and go over you.

@ITFZone

Ай бұрын

The Street Glide is a different design and opens further than the Road Glide so I agree this mod would not be effective on this model.

i keep mine closed i got tired of bugs coming threw a hitting me in the face. i think it a bad design

For sure stuff can get through there, you are not alone with this thought but for sure I get a buffeting with it closed vs open but I get it!

That's interesting. I went from a 2016 CVO SG to the 23 CVO RG. I never took a bug to the face in 30k miles on my SG. On the new RG in only1k miles, had a yellow Jacket fly up under my helmet and sting me 3 times b4 i could get him out. Then yesterday I took something big right on the lip... damn that hurt. I'm not 100% sure they came through the vent but I never seen them coming over the 12" shield.
