I'm 5' 7" and the 12" Klockwerks is perfect for me, the airflow hits the top of my helmet... if I was any taller I probably wouldn't like it so much.

I'm 6'3" and I like the 10" dark smoked shield I bought from
a guy on ebay......very minimal wind on my face and head,
I wear contacts and have no problems with them being blown
around or moving.

How well do the Windvests and Klockwerks and their rubber weatherstrips fit the RG fairing? I have the HD Windsplitter on now and am not very happy with the weatherstrip fitment, just wondering if Windvest or Klockwerks are any better?

I too have a FLTRU and was looking into V-Stream from Nat. Cycle. Anyone had any experiences with these? I was thinking of getting the 15" version I'm 5'11" What exactly is different on the CVO shield anyone know?

Shield seems a little short for someone 6'3". What seat are you useing?

U/C seat that has been modified by MeanCity Cycle.....
I can actually ride without eye protection up to 40/45mph
before the wind bothers my contacts.

I have a 12" Klockwerks on mine and I am thinking of changing to an 8" KW. I ride with a full face helmet if I am going to do a lot of interstate riding and around town a half helmet. I like the looks of a shorter w/s and I have not been bothered with buffeting with a full face helmet.

I'll second and third this. My experience with my road glide was the clearview 12" custom cut shield and a set of hard lowers. Awesome combo for me.

I just bought a 2008 Anniversary road glide, has a clearview (small) windshield, and hog chops and stock seat. I am getting blasted pretty good so have to make some changes. Also finding it a bit cramped with stock seat, I am 6'2" and need to move back some and I am thinking down a bit as well. I want to get the seating position figued out before the windshield and looking for suggestions.

I'm 6' and I use a Cee Bailey's Euro 15". After five shields this one wins.
