I guess it depends on what you mean by "upgrade." Are you only talking about HD products? Clearview and Klockwerks are two companies that make replacement windshields in a variety of heights and have the "lip" at the top for deflecting the air a couple inches higher.

I'm 6' 3".&nbsp\\; Just put the CLearview 6 1/2 inch with the lip on my Streetglide.&nbsp\\; Working great and still with a faily small windshield.&nbsp\\; I recommend it.

I'm 5' 10" and the Clearview 8" Smoked with recurve is perfect for me.

i just put on clearview 6.5 curve&nbsp\\;on my bike, perfect for me. high enough to stop the wind from rattling my glasses at highway speed.

Had the dealer put on a 6" when I picked up the bike, still found too much wind for my liking, went to an 8" aftermarket (cheapie) shield, worked OK but easily scratched during cleanings.&nbsp\\;
Recently upgraded to a 9.5" Recurve from Clearview, this one is great - really keeps the wind off and still looks great in my opinion, very fine quality shield.
