I have ordered the 14" so I'm sure my hands will be up at about the limit of being behind the shield. I plan on getting a 14" Stingray so maybe it will be okay we will see.

 

medium tint and i look over.
but i am 6'2, long torso, and have a more upright riding position.

 

I can now give an update. Contrary to what I thought I actually ordered the 15", not the 14". For me, 5'10, this is borderline high as I need to really sit upright to not have the top of the windshield in my line of sight. But when sitting upright it's ok in that regard.
I only tested the Stingray so far. For me as a rider it makes no difference in normal riding conditions. Only when I had my visor up and sat straight I could feel the wind on the top of my helmet with the stock windshield. That is now completely gone with the Stingray - it better be as the shield is longer and has a recurve.

For my passenger it's also better but still not calm. But I'm beginning to think that this is not only related to the windshield but actually to the way the wind collects towards the saddlebag area, i.e. behind the rider.

I have yet to test the Thresher, especially with my passenger. I should be able to report back towards the end of July.

 

I have a 2016 RGS and bought the 12" stingray and found it perfect.The stock shield would want to pull helmet off and dry out my eyes and couldnt hear the stereo over 40mph.Now I can hear the stereo at 70mph and 80% of wind is gone.Its never going to be a wind free ride.I also got the medium tint.Sitting on the bike the top of the shield should be level with your nose.

 

I know this is an old thread, but what exact windshield is this?

 

I'm curious if your bars hit the shield?

 

14" Stingray with Medium tint. I'm 5'9 and it was too tall, I went with a 12" Stingray which is perfect for me.

That looks to be a 10" LRS Stingray. I have both the 10 and 11" version, and the 11 has a little more recurve with the extra inch. The 10" doesn't have much. (Like this picture.) I slouch when I ride and have the lower CVO style seat, so the 10" is the correct height for me to be always looking over it. (5'9)

 

Im nearly 6 feet 1 and with the 14" Thresher its roughly 1/2 inch below my line of sight meaning i can tilt my head slightly forward and be looking through it. For me that is the perfect height. I don't smoke but could light a lighter behind it.
