Hi Jeffrey - just from our experience, I'd estimate our 8" recurve shield would be perfect for you.

When picking the height, we recommend that you sit on the bike in a normal riding position - have a friend hold a ruler against the shield from the fairing intersection up - look at a reference point 50' in front of you on the ground and try to gauge at what height your eyes intersect with the ruler. Then, pick a shield 1- 1 1/2" shorter than that measurement. With our recurve, you'll be able to safely see over the shield while getting the wind protection you need.

Hope that helps. If I can help further, please let me know

Merry Christmas to all -

I'm 5'9" and tried many windshields. I keep coming back to the Clearview Recurve 9.5 inch. I see over the shield just fine. 10.5 was too tall for me and the top of the windshield was right in my line of sight.

 

I've tried 4 different aftermarket shields on my 2010 SG. I started out with a 6.5 inch Clearview Black with recurve. EXCELLENT protection, HUGE improvement over stock and I just happen to be 5' 10". IMO there is no better looking shield out there BUT I didn't like not being about to see THRU the shield during slow speed maneuvers(I may go BACK to it..)



I next went to a 7 inch Memphis Shades gradient black which did an excellent job but fit/finish was WAY off of the Clearview....so off it went.

Next up was the H-D Wind-Splitter...nice shield but definite downgrade in protection. This one was a real disappointment..

FINALLY back to a smoke 6.5 inch Clearview with recurve. It doesn't look at good as the black imo but does a GREAT job and I can see THRU it when necessary...

 

I'm 5'-10" I had the stock screen and then the Harley 7" and both were useless. Wind just killed me and forget about the listening to any tunes. I'm now running the KW 8.5 flare and it made a huge difference and I think the look is pretty cool as well

 

Thanks for the positive chat everybody! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and wish everyone here a great, safe and prosperous New Year!
