Default LRS Stingray for 2016 RGU

Does anyone have a LRS Stingray on their Rushmore Road Glide? If so how do you like it. What height windshield from LRS would be equivalent to stock height? I'm quite happy with the height of the stock shield, I just want to throw the air upwards above my head a little more.

I have ordered two at 14": the Thresher and the Stingray. I am not sure which is which as they didn't mark them in the shipping box (actually, one is scratched at the very top too...but I'm in Europe, what am I gonna do about that...), and on their homepage I have difficulties telling the difference from the description and pics. But I think the one I currently have mounted is the Threseher as this one does not have the little curves inwards on both sides (outside perimeter left and right) from the shield going up.
In any case, I still need to test them both (nothing but constant rain here so far ). Will go on a longer trip this weekend and should be able to report back then when having returned. Focus there will be on my passenger; that's why I bought them in the first place.

I just got a 14" one earlier this week, only 160 miles on it but I am liking it so far. I also just bought a NIB 12" one for $80 on the RG forum to try as well-hopefully this weekend I can get some miles on it.

The 14" is the same size as the stock one (held in front of the stingray in the first pic):

Thanks a lot, that is what i needed to know. I thought the 14" was going to be close to stock but since I'm out of the country for work at the moment I couldn't really measure my windshield. It doesn't look like the Stingray has much of a recurve. Hopefully it throws the air up and over like a recurve.

I think the clear on that one makes it look like less curve. Mine is a little shorter, but same shield in smoked.

Looks good 24 V. How does it perform on a ride? Can you smoke a cigarette behind it? BTW nice bike.

16" Stingray on 2016 RGU. Measures 8" from top of air dam.
Stock had wind and bugs hitting me in the cheeks and forehead.
Not anymore and I have a nice air pocket.
Don't have to blast the radio on the highway.
14" would probably be stock height.

I wear a full face, and don't smoke. I bet you could though. With the stock shorter windshield I had a lot of noise around my helmet when riding. With the LRS it is much more quiet. The wind just hits the very top of my helmet.

non-smoker as well but you probably could. The 16" puts the air at the top of my helmet. I'm 6'2", long torso, and have a more upright riding position.
I'm also using the stock seat with no plans on changing.
Plan on putting 12" Malo bars on in the near future and that will keep me upright.
Duckcomando, would like to know how the LRS Stingray shield works with the bars you have coming.

Are you looking through the 16" or over it? Also what tint is that on your shield the light or dark?
