Sorry, I'm 6' even and have no problem seeing over the 7". Could probably see over the 10" as well but don't have one yet to be sure. The taller dark tinted shield just takes a little getting use to at night but it's not bad and you soon forget about it all together.

Ok thanks I'm 6'1" 33" inseam I think I'm going to order the 8 or 9 inch. Can't decide yet but I really like how the sizes come in 1 inch increments.

Just for clarification ... Our Aero Windshields are transparent Dark Gray & not completely blacked out. They are 65% tinted dark gray, like a pair of sunglasses.

I have a 10 inch light tint and can see over it fine. At 80 mph my glasses dont move around at all. But I can look over a 12 inch if I want.

I don't have an LRS on my '14 Limited but going the route soon. I had one on my Street Glide and preferred the lighter tint for night. While I can see over the shield, I do like to look down at my front wheel at times to see road conditions. Just me and my two-cents. Can't beat LRS!!

I'm looking at getting one of these, I'm 6'1" and find that the stock shield isn't high enough to stop the wind. I looked at the HD 7" windsplitter but when I measured it, it's really only an inch taller than stock.
Your spot on I just installed the 7" and it was a waste of money when I put it up against the stock shield its about a 1" difference. I immediately ordered a 10" LRS and after reading these posts I got the medium tint.

Let me know how it turns out. Sounds like we are experiencing the same issue. Ohh and post some picks too.
