I'm 5'10", and have the 9.5 re curve in smoke. I see over it by about 2 inches or more, and it has a light enuff tint that I can see thru it as well.
It sounds to me, as tho you are more interested in "Looks" than you are wind protection. Having said that, the 4.5 might be what you want. I have a 4 inch smoked screen also, and while it looks good, the wind blast off it catches me right on the forehead. Also, it doesn't do much at all as far as deflecting bugs, etc. You end up eatin most of em.

I agree the shorter SG windshields look sweet. I found a good middle ground where the shield looks good and retains most of the SG cool look but is also comfortable for the long haul. I like the look of the 8 and think the 6.5 dark grey would really look sweet and give you more function than you have now. Here is mine with the 6" HD shield on it.

I am looking at buying a new clearview sheild and would like input on size. I am 5'9' and if seat matters am on a sundowner. Which height works for those of you that are around my height. I am undecided between the 4.5 and the 6.5. I would prefer to stay as low profile as I can. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking at Clearviews also. I'm 5'10 and debating if I can get away with 8 inch as opposed to 9.5 inch?? I have an EG, it may set rider higher than Street Glide??
I'm also debating between smoke and dark grey?? They say you cansee though both. I'd like to go dark as possible.
Maybe I'll have wifey order me one for Christmas.

RE: Clearview Sheild Question
I'm 5'10" with a Sundowner seat.I couldn't decide whether to go with the 6 1/2" or 8". The guys at Clearview suggested I get one of each for trial and send back the one I don't like. Good idea as I only had to pay return shipping rather than reordering and having to pay a second shipping charge. I chose the 8" with the rercurve and am happy with that. However this post reminds me that I was going to buy a 10" shield from Fastaire for winter riding. I thank they only cost $20. I will order that one Monday.
