Got these FLH deflectors on the cheap. Found some unused brackets and came up with this mod. Can't really tell if they make much difference. Have not had them up to enough speed. Any likes or dislikes.

Not sure who did this, but I thought it helpful and saved it.

They certainly don't change the side profile view at all. I have the same screen as you and fitted it last week. The previous owner had also made and added some custom brackets to allow a more upright or laid back angled adjustment. I found the wind coming from underneath now blows my beard up whipping my face in my open face helmet so may have to rubber band it or wear a full face helmet until the lowers below arrive.
I actually ended up buying these very similar but pretty expensive ones (with the freight) in the thread quote below from the UK and will see how they go once they have arrived.
When asked the seller said "They need to be drilled to suit your screen brackets."

Another option is these stainless steel versions available for UK#50. (Try to ignore the 'over the top' other accessories etc.)* Postage to Oz is a bit steep at UK#36.50 though.

He sells worldwide so just put the eBay item number in your local eBay browser search. I have been tossing up whether it may be worthwhile to match a Roadster screen I have not fitted yet but with winter on its way here in Canberra it may be an idea.

"Hanso and I bought the 25" Clearview screen and I used Fred's (Rocket Scientist) template to make the lowers. The screen stopped a lot of the wind and noise but believe it or not the lowers got rid of the rest of it. Using Fred's template I got a local glass business to cut the lowers from some sort of clear acrylic. The mounting brackets are
which cost $US68.12 including shipping to Moruya NSW. I have heard of other Rocket owners just using a Memphis Shade lower and bracket instead of making their own. Unless it is windy, the combination of the Clearview screen and the lowers takes away almost all of the noise. It's quite amazing to experience. The only downside is in summer.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for the thumbs up/like. I had to reverse right and left due to clearance issues. In the correct position they would hit the radiator at max steering. I also had to move the signal lights out a little. The posted side pic is before the mod. To be honest I don't think they are going to help much unless I get caught in the rain.
I think that they might make me more visible to oncoming traffic. Also raised the screen to the max and tilted it back a bit plus added a bead. Still need a taller shield. Will have Santa bring me a Clearview.

Is that windshield a ClearView? What size is it?

Just FYI -
I've bought several shields from Clearview.
They have changed policy and don't do custom height order any more.
I have just received a new custom height shield from 7Jurock with the top re-curve for less money.
Its mounted and looks great. Shall soon take it out for a spin.

They (7JuRock) measure theirs differently (center hole to lip) to Clearview (Length is measured in the center of the shield from the dip between the headlights to the top of the shield.)
Clearview states stock is 20" - does that match 7JuRock's 9" or 10" both at base price?

The OME windshield for my Roadster was only 18 inches from light cutout to top and I had it raised as high as it would go. I wished to add 2 inches and keep the cutout close as possible to the heaslughts, so I ciphered out what the appropriate 7Jurock distance would be. I don't remember what that measurement was at the moment.
