I am thinking of getting a Memphis Fats windshield I am undecided as to which height to get 19"or 21". I made a card board cut out as a test 21" it seems like I can see over it fine when I am looking straight out. I am 5'11' tall I just don't want to get it the wrong size. Any sugestions?
I am going to be taking some long trips with my wife and friends Americade, Vermont and though I am not a fan of winshields on a Sportster my friends have them on their BT Harleys and the wind can beat you up after a few hours of high speed riding.

 

I'm 6'2" and use a Fats 19". The top of the shield comes to about mouth height on me. Unlike the HD QD shield the Fats mounts are adjustable probably +- 1". If I were to do it over I would go with the 21" but I've got a few inches on you.

 

I was thinking the 19' would be about right and with 1'" of adjustment I think it will be ok. I was pretty sure a 21" would be too tall for me, thanks for the reply.

 

I just put a Memphis Fats 19" on my Superglide. I am 6'1" and it is about right. I know 21" would be too much for me.

 

I'm slightly over 6' and my torso is longer than average. A 17" Fats looked to be about right for me, but it was too short and caused significant buffeting. After some experimentation, I replaced it with a 21" Fats. I can sit up full extension and see over the top, or lean a little and tuck behind it. Works very well and makes the long rides less tiring.

I worried that the Fats would look too big on the Sportster. But, that is not the case. To me, it has nice proportions for the bike.
