I think it depends on how tall you sit in the saddle. I’m 6’3 and it is night and day over stock…but it’s not perfect. I still wouldn’t smoke a cigar behind it, but now I want to ride the bike

I’m only 5’6 but the stock screen was hopeless. The 7jurock screen at 20” is perfect. Wind goes straight over me.

I believe I bought the 18 inch Jurock for my TC. With the winglets closed I get no wind on my helmet well above 70 mph. I’m 5’8 and the windshield sits about an inch or so below my nose.

I am 5.7 and I put the T/C windscreen on mine and I am able to wear a half lid now. I prefer the look of the stock B windscreen and tried to switch back, but had to put the T/C windscreen back on.

I definitely not putting a big windshield on my b.
I will try the wing defectors.
Snow is coming , could be six months till I ride again.
 
I ride with the stock OEM Model B windshield, without any issues; however, I did go over the top with adding a lot of the wind management & attributes from the TC model:

Adjustable Fairing Winglets
Lower Leg Wind Protection
Auxiliary Lights & Directional
Lower Engine Protection Bar

Do you have pictures of these attributes?
Since about 2 weeks owner of a B now.
I have the the wind deflector instead of the OEM windscreen.
No buffeting, most of the wind seems to come from 'beneath'.

Thinking of getting the TC windscreen for just more protection for the coming winter months (I ride the whole year).
And other wind management, starting with the lower leg protections.
 
I have a recently acquired TC with the stock windshield. I have been thinking of cutting the windshield down an inch or so in order to comfortably just see over it. Has anyone tried this with the B or TC windshield? I did it years ago with the windshield on my 1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate. When done properly no one but me knew. I know that other Valkyrie riders had done the same. I'm wondering if windshield technology/material has changed since then which may prevent this.

Most recent images of my Model B with the TC Wind Management attributes... A chunky Model B for now..

I typically flip the fairing Winglets Open or Closed depending on riding speed and or outside temperature while riding..
 
Beautiful picture of a very nice machine

Have you seen any answers? I just got a 2024 TC and need to "cut" the windshield down more than an inch! Going to the dealer tomorrow. May have them install a lower one. I had a Harley Ultra Ltd. and could see over the windshield. Not with this one. Don't like it!
 
No replies to my message about cutting down the windshield. I'd recommend trying the B windshield first. The Valkyrie windshield was more vertical than the B or T's windshields and thus it seemed easier to determine a satisfactory cut. Good luck.
