BATWING What size windshield works for you.

I use the 11" Stealth with a Tallboy seat and it's hands down better than the stock 10". (I'll 6'2") I only turn the radio half way on the freeway now where I had to go all the way up w/ stock. I use a 4" in the summer to get more wind.
I messaged LRS before ordering and they steered me in the right direction, if you're unsure about height, give them a call.

That's my main shield. In the heat of the summer, I like to run a 4" tinted shield, which allows a lot of wind to hit my face and chest. I've also got a stock 12" clear windshield, and I'd be running that one right now, if I didn't have my bike torn down for upgrades.

At 6'1", I was looking right at the top of the windshield of my FLHTP in most of my highway riding. I knew I didn't want to look through the windshield because of poor vision when it is raining. I ended up with an aftermarket Dakota windshield that is 1" shorter than stock and is also wider than stock. Problem solved. I now look over the top edge of the windshield without having air blasting my helmet, plus its wider so my hands and arms get less buffeting. Saturday I did a 2 hour ride in 40F weather and enjoyed every minute of it.

I'm 6' sit really straight up and can look over a stock 12" shield.
I am really liking the Fast Aire ~ 10" Areo http://www.fastaire.com/Aero.html
It seems to be a little straighter on the sides than the Clearview (I had for 3 years) which makes it wider near the top. This helps a lot.
The best way is to measure yourself on your bike.
Seats and how you sit on your bike make a huge difference.
Measure your eye level from the top of your fairing, then subtract 3" and buy anybody's windshield with the flip on top.
