Don't panic yet. So many variables come into play, and you can not go off of height. People are different. You may have longer legs then the other 6'1" guys here, and the 8 may be perfect. I'm 6'2" and use an 8". It's on a '02 RK with a Dragonfly fairing, but you never know.
If it's too short, no problem. Let me know and we'll get it swapped out.

Great review and I'm looking forward to your results on the 10 in Stealth.
We're the same dimensions, I'm currently using the 8 in Ultra but have found passenger turbulence has increased. That and a little loss of front end stability, which I hear the Stealth will resolve.

Thanks for the reviews. I have talked to LRS on several occasions over the last few weeks about getting the right shield. We have also discussed how it seems like the SG gets more turbulence and negative pressure behind the fairing. This is the big reason I strayed away from the flat top. Was all set to try an 8" Stealth until I found out it was a no go with the 2 pouch fairing bag. Really wanted to try that one out too. Thinking I will be trying a 6" or 7" to replace my 8".

I just installed the Ultra 8" on my 12 SG. I am 5' - 10" and the wind hits me right at my fore head. I see over it just fine. Could probably use 9" but I am comfortable with the 8. What I have found is that it is much more comfortable while I am wearing my half helmet. In fact, I left the house this morning and realized half way to work that I left my clear glasses on the tail gate of my truck. Never felt the wind in my eyes.
Now, When I wear my ff, I feel it buffeting more. With the shorter shield I couldn't feel the wind with my ff helmet but the helmet was definatly moving around when I was wearing it on a long cold ride with the taller shield.
One last thing. I just got my Saddleman windshield bag and it fits perfectly with the shield.

Hey Boom great review
I was wondering though if you still have the stealth windshield if you could take a picture and show how it all fits together with the 3 pouch tbag. I have a klockwerks on my 09 sg right now that has the flares on the side like the stealth from lrs and the 3 pouch bag works like poo with the klockwerks 8" i believe it is. I can't get into the side bags enough to even get sunglasses in or out.
So if you could please and if you still have it snap a picture for me
Thanks alot

Unfortunately, The 9" Stealth is on its way to LRS for exchange for the 10". I have the 3-pouch T-Bags and the side pouches were hard to get into to begin with... With the Stealth you cannot open the lid all the way up but they are still usable. I use the side pouches for things I do not use that often.
I will take a picture with the 10" Stealth, when I receive it, and post it.
