Street Glide windshield on Ultra
I bought a 6 1/2" windshield for my Ultra and had to take it off. I had so much turbulance I couldn't keep my glasses and my head from shaking. I could barely see where I was going. I like the look of the SG shorty but I thought it would be too short. I am 6'1". I am wondering now if the 4" shield would be better than the 6 1/2. Maybe the 6.5" shield had the wind hitting me in the wrong place. Does anybody my size have one of these and if so how does it work?

I had to remove my stock FLHX windshield. It blasted me right in the eyes. I went up to 9". Very happy with that.

I took my stock SG windshield off due to buffeting. Replaced it with a 6.5" Clearview with the Recurve which is killer. Much quieter , can hear the tunes much better , keeps the look. The recurve really works great.

I'm 6'1 and bought an inexpensive (~$25) 8" dark smoked windshield from Ebay seller American Thunder--works fine; no buffetting.
I also have a 4" from this same vendor and it's fine for around town in the summer, but too much wind at interstate speeds for me.

Anything below a 9 or stock 12 inch will beat you up.The low profile look is cool but at the expense of comfort and safety.

I have the 6.5 on my SG and the 9.5 with re-curve on my ultra. The re-curve works great. I`m 6`- 1``
