Is the "detail on instrument cluster" the plastic ridge along the top of the gauge housing? I don't know if people are measuring from there or right in front of the ridge.

I had the 12" on my RG. I'm 6'1" and it worked perfect for me.

Yes, the ridge along the top of the gauge housing, the one with the bar & shield emblem in it. Highest point on the housing.

I want as much protection as I can get, but I still want to be able to see over the shield. So I'm thinking the 15 inch might do it. I also thinking Light Smoke tint.

From top edge of the gauge cluster to the top of the windshield 12 1/8"

10" windvest here. The wife said that THIS shield made all the difference for a bsr.
I have serveral different shields and may switch out come summer. In the warmer seasons, I like some wind in the face.

Ride Safe.
