Default Windshield for XL1200C

Considering adding a quick detach windshield to my bike. Am shorter rider 5'10". What will the difference be for me between the HD "standard" vs. "low profile" windshield?

The Standard will probably work for you. I am 5'8" and the standard shield was right at eye level to me. I was either looking through it or stretching to see over it. I replaced the standard shield with a compact/low profile replacement lexan shield from Memphis Shades. The compact shield is about at the level of my upper lip.

I'm 5'8" and I can see over the standard size so you shouldn't have a problem.

Its at nose level for me, no problem seeing over it. The detachable windshield is the way to go. I use mine for bad weather and really windy days.

Since when has 5'10" become known as short?
