Fatboy Windshield question
Never liked the looks of a windshield on a Fatboy, but after the ride down and back to Daytona on I-95 I have had a change of heart. I want to go with one of the detachable HD windshields, either the king size or the nostalgic, but I have a question on the listed windshield heights. HD lists 18, 21, and 23 inch heights. Where exactly are these measurements taken from? Are they measured from the cutout for the headlight? I want to have a windshield I can look over, not through, and I don't want to end up with too high of a windshield from the start. Any help would be appreciated.

I just added the "king-size" 18" H-D Quick-Detach to my Slim last week, (part number 57400111) and at 5' 7", I'm looking through it by a good 2"...
If I sit up perfectly straight, the top is about eyeball level.
I just went and measured, and it's exactly 18" from the top of the headlight to the top of the shield.
Just measuring from the headlight cutout up, it's 17.5"
/sorry for the crappy picture...
