Default low black windshield

Considering the purchase of a 6" black windshield for my 05 Electra glide to replace the original one. Can anyone help with the their experience on this? Thanks

I went with a 4", I am 5'8", using a reach seat that came on the bike. I can see over just fine, works well for around town. Definitely more head wind, buffeting. I put the 9.5" clear on for over the road. Made the black one myself.

i bought one from fastaire. Great cust service and the price is right. works great. I am 6 foot and i put on an 8". It didn't ruin the look either. I did the smoke color so i can see thru it at night. I can finally hear the radio.

Looks great but it is rough going when you have to hid from the rain.

I put the low smoke hd on mine, alot of wind= great on a hot day, not much fun on 200 mile rides, seems to wear ya down. you also will not here the pipes as much, wind noise covers them up. I wish i had gotten the 6.

I have the 6 inch Harley one and it works great.&nbsp\\; Can hear the radio, but don't have to look through a windshield.&nbsp\\; What made a big difference was adding the Front Fork Air Baffle.&nbsp\\;Chrome ones are $22.95 list.&nbsp\\; Really cut down on air buffeting.

I put the five inch opaque black Cee Baileys windshield on my street glide. I think it was just over $70.00 shipped. There website claims a long lead time time but I had the windshield in four days.
