Engineered for the CVO Street Glide FLHXSE, this windshield combines aerodynamic efficiency with sleek aesthetics, making it an ideal choice for touring enthusiasts who want enhanced comfort without compromising the aggressive look of their motorcycle.

Design and Styling

• Wave Profile: The windshield features a distinctive “wave” contour that not only adds visual appeal but also improves airflow management. Its sculpted shape complements the batwing fairing of the Street Glide, giving the bike a modern, streamlined appearance.
• Light Smoke Tint: The 8‑inch version comes in a light smoke finish, striking a balance between visibility and sun glare reduction. This tint enhances the bike’s custom look while maintaining clear forward vision.
• CVO Fitment: Tailored for Harley‑Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) models, the windshield integrates seamlessly with the FLHXSE, ensuring a factory‑fit appearance that matches the premium styling of the motorcycle.

Performance and Functionality

• Wind Deflection: The larger surface area of the 8‑inch windshield provides superior wind protection compared to shorter options. By redirecting airflow over and around the rider, it reduces fatigue during long rides and minimizes helmet buffeting.
• Optimized for Rider Height: Harley‑Davidson recommends this windshield for riders between 5’4” and 5’9”. Its height is carefully chosen to allow most riders to look just over the top edge, maintaining clear sightlines while benefiting from maximum wind deflection.
• Comfort on Long Rides: Touring riders will appreciate the reduction in wind pressure on the chest and face, which translates into less strain and a more relaxed posture during extended journeys.

Build Quality

• Durable Construction: Made from high‑quality polycarbonate, the Wind Splitter windshield is impact‑resistant and built to withstand the rigors of highway travel.
• Scratch Resistance: The surface is treated to resist scratches, ensuring long‑lasting clarity and durability.
• Precision Fit: Harley‑Davidson’s engineering ensures that installation is straightforward, with mounting points aligning perfectly to the batwing fairing for a secure and vibration‑free fit.
