I would think so...you know they can be adjusted up, down, forward and backward depending on the riders preferance right?

I'm quite a bit taller than you at 6'3", but I look waaaay over the top on my 16" mounted to an 04 FatBoy.

I am 5'11 and i can look over mine but can duck under when those pebbles start to fly! Love mine, at certain angles you can hardly tell I even have a windshield. Perfect product.

I am 5' 7.5" and my WindVest on my Deuce is perfect. My line of sight is about 2.5" above the shield. I consider it the best investment I bought for my Deuce. Second best investment was my Corbin Seat. The shield is rock solid and somewhat adjustible in height. Excellent product.

Get one...You won't be sorry. You shouldn't have a problem being able to look over it. I'm not at home with my bike right now so I can't measure it but on my FL springer the bottom of the shield goes down to just about the mid point on the headlight to give you some idea.

As someone mentioned, they can be adjusted.. I think you've got about 2" or so play in how you mount it.

Good product.

I'm 5'8" and have the 14", perfect for me.
Glad I didn't get the taller one.
