Road King Zephyr Gold Series Acrylic Windshield
We designed the Road King™ Windshield to allow the rider to clearly see over the shield and onto the road in front of them. We know you buy the Road King for a reason, like being free and open to the elements, which is why we want to improve the quality of your ride with less wind buffeting and noise pollution by adding the LRS™ Recurve touch. Now, our Road King™ is EVEN BETTER! The Zephyr™ modification gives you the opportunity to add an adjustable vent (sold separately) to eliminate negative back pressure. You are the KING of your own buffet free realm with this amazing advancement in windshield technology!

Customer Reviews
This is an excellent windshield option. I specifically went with the 20" vented windshield. If I could go back and do this again, I'd move to the slightly more expensive option to get a clear windshield. Even the slight-tint makes it difficult to use with evening riding, especially when it starts to get bugs/water on it. Install was straight-forward and it made my highway time a significantly smoother ride.
I still had buffeting on the helmet at 65mph+, but performing the 'arm test' (hold your left arm horizontally across your lower chest - if the wind stops, you probably need fork fangs) showed this was not due to the windshield. If I leaned forward slightly this went away entirely.
The lightest tint on this option is still too dark and that's really my only complaint. I took this on a 1k mile weekend trip and it significantly improved my quality of life (and saved me from many bugs and even a small bird!). Pics are of this thing getting a bit of abuse on my 08 RK Classic, but it cleaned up very well.
Changed from a fairing to this, zero buffering at 80mph.
Cracked my factory HD windshield so found a used wind splitter one and it looked great, but if I closed the vent my head bobbled all over the place. Saw the Long Ride Labor Day sale and was like let’s do it! Easy to replace my factory shield with this one, vent was a little loose up and down but wasn’t a factor at speed! Now I have wind when I want it but no bobble head! Saved me from going down the full fairing route!
Replace my LRS 20" by a 20" vented. It seems to help reduce the buffeting. I didnt experieced that much of it. I was trying to get the best thing out there. I would say that the vent help but its not a game changer for me. Loving it, only complain the vent arrived slightly damage.
I bought the shield hoping that the buffetting would be better. It is better, but not by too much. I'm 6' tall, 190 lbs. I didn't see much of a difference with the vent, BUT on hot days it's nice to have a little forced air coming at my upper chest area. I also had the non vented 20" screen which cracked because I mounted it too tight. Be careful not to torque it down to much when mounting the screen on the frame. On a side note, my buddy told me that the fangs with the new screen would make a difference. I haven't tried that yet.
