Ditto WJL. Cee Baileys. Period. I've ordered two, and both were delivered in bout seven days. Price is right, quality is excellent, and they have a variety of clear grey, smoked and black in various heights. AND, they'll send you a bottle of aircraft plastic windshield potion that works on everything plastic. I use it on my full face visor, the windshield and other bs stuff that that I don't want to scratch. Well worth the pittance they charge for a windshield. http://www.ceebaileys.com/cycle/
Rubber side down dude.

Klock Werks 6.5"flare shieldhere and a wicked shield it is. My buds and Iall got them a few weeks ago and they work great. Took all the dirty air out of my face so now I can light a good cigar andride without any problem. Call Klock Werks or visit their website by clicking this link. Great guys, great service, best shield on the market.

X2 on the Klock Werks - Pricey but it works!

I haven't changed my sig yet but I do have an '08 Street Glide and I'm 6' tall with 32" inseam.
I put a Clearview 9 1/2" on with recurve and look about 3 inches over the top.
Works great, my glasses don't move.
But I do have the fork baffle and wing vents too.

I've been riding into work lately and the mornings have been a wee bit chilly so I'm thinkin of getting a bigger shield. The 4" stock one is ok, but I'm looking for a little more without getting a giant wall on the front.

Have any of you used a 7-8" windshield? Any buffeting. Other size suggestions?

PS - I'm 5'11' if that helps with the suggestions.

Thanks!!

I am 5'11" also and I use a 7inch tall from Cee Baileys. It works out perfect for me, I can see over it but yet it does a good job of kicking the wind over my head and it still looks pretty short.

I'm 6' 1" and now use a Clearview 8" recurve.The stock shield was too low so I tried the H-D 9" and it was too high.I then tried the H-D 6" and still had wind buffeting.The Clearview 8" recurve works perfect.I can still see over it with no problems with the wind.

I'm 5' 11", (or 5' 10" if I've been drinking), and have the stock 12" HD. Top edge sucks at eye level. Very little buffeting (with the chrome fork air baffle and Freedom Wings) but I'm tired of either trying to see through it or stretch my neck to see over it.

I ordered the Clearview 8" Recurve. Hope it gets here soon.

I plan on keeping the 12" for late November - March riding. Keeps most of the wind off me.

RE: Street Glide Windshiled - Thoughts from all

I just did a quick Clearview 6.5" w/recurve review. Look for the link. I spoke with John and he was a pleasure to talk to. I got a blem that has a few very, very small scratches in it.

BTW I like it so far. Much, much better than the stocker.
