I ran the Freedom 7" windshield on my 07 SG. When I traded it in I removed it and put it on my '11 SG. I'm 5'-11" and it works for me at all speeds. Call Jim at www.fastaire.com and he can suggest to you the proper height. Excellent service and prices. Check it out on his website.

 

What tint are you guys using? The dark smoke looks a little too dark to see anything through at night

 

Dark tint, on the 7" I look over it, not through it.

 

i am also 6' 2008 flhx put klockworks on and it directed wind directly into forehead.im hoping new solo seat is a little lower than stock seat and will make the switch worth it.if not im going back to the stock windscreen.

 

just put 6.5 KW on to replace my 8.5 KW, great improvement

 

I'm only 5'6'' and look over my dark smoke sitting on a stock seat

 

Ran the 15 inch Cee Bailee windshield for 70,000 miles. The best windshield for taking out buffeting. I have switched to a 10 1/2 clearview because I wanted to move the windshield out of my way. The Cee Bailee works because it is closer to you. So far I am liking the Clearview, but I don't have many miles on it yet. Like the looks of it though and I have the version with the 5 postion vent. I need air when riding through hot places!

6' 2" custom seat that is back 2" from stock and up by 1" or so....

 

Obviously there is more than one operating condition that folks described as "buffeting". I was under the impression that buffeting was a handling condition caused by strong turbulent air hitting the fairing/shield effecting front end stability, making the front feel a little shakey or wobbley. Alot of the responses here are relative to turbulent air hitting the rider. So which is it, if both shouldn't we figure out different names for the different conditions?

 

You went lower, to a 6.5 and it made an improvement over the 8.5? In looks only I'm assuming?

 

no, i actually got less wind buffeting, go figure, the 8.5 caused the buffeting to be at the top or back of my helmet, caused my vision to blurr at speeds over 65 with the 6.5 that all went away, very happy
