I'm 6'2" and run the 17" cee baileys Dome on mine with lowers it's about as perfect as you're going get on a bike and still look sporty.

I look over mine . Very little wind noise and very good wind protection. Here's some pics with it on my bike.

I agree, it looks great!

That is the CVO version. If you go back to the site and go down a bit you'll see the standard version and then the choice will be Euro or Dome. Those prices are in the $170 range it appears. I have been eyeballing them for a while.

I've got the Klockwerks 16" tinted flare and since it's the first real windshield I've ever had on a bike I can't compare it to anything else but it works great for me, I am 6'5".

Clearview SM is 2" shorter than stock, I think. After going through 4 windshields, this is the one I have left on. I'm 6'2", and this one fits me perfect. Clearview quality is impeccable, thicker than others = no vibration and doesn't easily scratch.

It's also all about seat height. If you run two seats like I do (sundowner and corbin) you might need two shields to keep the wind in check.

Key word here is "touring". I have been pleased with my Clearview. If your knocking out miles, you want as least wind, noise and buffeting as possible. A long day in the saddle with your head being beat around is for a miserable ride. I'm sure there are many windshields out there that may claim to be equivilent to the Clearview, but their quality is very good.

I have the XL Clearview and a 14" Windvest. The Windvest is my favorite and it looks way better, but it's a little short for me. I will slap the clearview on if I head out on a road trip.

6-4/32" inseam

I want to get the seating position figued out before the windshield and looking for suggestions.

I have an HD Tallboy seat coming Monday, hope that gets position right then I will work on windshield. The clearview will be first choice but probably need L or XL.
