Thanks for the heads-up. I like my 9" WS when I'm riding 2-up but with my solo seat, I have to look through it as my seat sits quite low.
I have a 5 inch shield that I made myself, and it works pretty good with the solo seat. So I was thinking of getting the 6 inch LRS.
You'll like that 9" shield, I'm sure.
On a side note, I've noticed that most of the buffeting I get with any shield goes away if I tuck my legs and knees in tight to the tank.

I've used the LRS shields in the flat top and ultra styles along with a cee baileys and the stocker.. I was hoping to hear more about the Harley windsplitters and others. The Klockwerks and Cee Baileys are kinda spacey looking.

Of course everyone will have a different opinion,but what its worth...I've tried the stock shield 4",tried KW6.5",9",LRS ultra 7"&9"... After all those I've found the LRS 9"to be the best...no buffetting and I can hear my radio at 80mph!! BTW...when you measure for a windshield,it should ne level with your upper lip or under the nose,but again some like to look thru it...my 2cents
