Looking good! I got the same one on my 14 standard with color matched paint and pinstripe. Amazing mod, not cheap but it def adds that little extra look to the bike that sets it off

I have an RC2 on my '14, and at 5'10" I think I'm the perfect wrong height for this screen. The wind blast off the screen seems to hit me just below the helmet, at the perfect wrong place. Quite a noisy racket, even with a snug fitting Shoei GT Air. My ride is much quieter without the RC2, but the RC2 looks so cool that I leave it on Tongue.

Townie do us a favor and measure straight up from the ign to the top on your srceen and tell us what that measurement is please.

10.25". I think that falls right at the threshold of what you found to be acceptable for buffeting?

I’m 5’7” so maybe I’ll see a small difference. Don’t care really. I just have to have one.

Yep right on the edge. Is it better if you straighten up or worse if you slump?

Pretty much yes to both. If I stand on the pegs, things are best. If I slump, it's worse until I'm in a tuck behind the screen, and then it's better.

I'm not chopping down my RC2 for anyone Tongue.

Is your RC2 colour matched to the Spencer Blue?

I would love to see a picture of that if possible. I'm on the fence right now about a RC2.

Yep, Spencer Blue. Photo below is a couple years old, and since then a Staintune and gaiters have been added. Lighting in the pic below isn't great, I'll try to take a better one this weekend.

You should get the RC2, because some day you might not be able to for this bike.

This is my 13 with an RC1 and the tall windscreen. I think it makes a big difference because it definitely reduces how hard I have to hang onto the bars at highway speeds. Before I had a windscreen after 50 minutes at 75 mph I was quite tired from hanging on so hard. After it was like a large weight had been removed from my chest because all of that air is redirected up. My head is still in it a bit, but nothing too horrible.
