Default Need Windshield

I have the OEM factory windsheild on my 07 Ultra Classic. The problem is I'm 5'7 and I'm looking through the windshield instead over the top. At night it's alright but kind of hazy. One of the dealers at a local shop that I got the bike from showed me his windshield on his Ultra limited and I think it was a Korks or kerks. I really liked it because I can see right over the top of windshield. Well, i guess I'm looking at suggestions from you guys and Lady's on which are good windshields. I did some youtube research on the Kerks or Korks windshield and there were a lot of people that didn't like them because the wind still bobbled their heads. But they probably didn't have the right height on the windshield. I want something the deflect the wind out from my head while still looking over the top of the windshield

I got a 8in Freedom shield and it's great! I look over the top of it and I am the same height as you. It looks great on the bike as well two of my friends have added one since they're taller than me but they love it as well.

Default windshield

I took about 2 inches off the stock, it really has been the best mod I have done. When I got the new 12 limited I put that windshield on.
Nice not having to look through the bugs.
And costs nothing.

Get the LRS shield. You can get a little re-curve at the top. You basically measure it so it is even with your lip or nose. I prefer to see over mine as well. I have I believe it is the 9 inch and even my wife said that wind doesn't bother her when she is behind me.
