Windshield for 08 Fat Boy
I have an 08 Fat Boy, came with the quick release windshield, 17". When I sit on the bike the top of the windshield is in line with my throat.....that said at highway speed my sunglasses and helmet rattle like a bastard to the point when I next stopped I was dizzy and my head was pounding...Im guessing the windshield is too low???? If thats the case at what height should I go???

Between chin and nose should work for you. Mines inches below the nose and works great. If you plan on getting another seat that sits you lower, maybe further back, wait for the shield until you try it with the new seat. Otherwise, you definitely need a taller shield. C&C seats are really nice and at great prices. DrVtwin .com will set you up.

Actually there are only recommendations for windshield heights... everyone has their own comfort level. For years I rode without a windscreen... then I started using a short windscreen... then a taller windscreen... now in my 60's I prefer an extra tall windscreen... I just outfitted my bike for my Round The Great Lakes road trip with a 24" high x 25" wide windscreen from Cee Baileys... I am willing to look through the windscreen as a trade-off for the fact that it bothers me more to have the wind blowing up under the edges of my glasses... the windscreen is aircraft grade acrylic so that there is minimum distortion... and by keeping it properly polished the rain runs right off it. I can hide behind it in the rain and dust etc and not have to fool with wiping my glasses etc. So I guess what I am saying is that the height and width of a windscreen on your bike is a personal thing and do not get caught up in what is "proper".
