Default Electraglide windshields

Greetings,
I own an Electra glide standard. Have had it for several years and love it. Any advice on what size windshield to get to allow an unobstructed view looking forward and still get the wind over the top. I am 6 feet 2 inch with a short upper body. I currently have the 10 inch lightly smoked variety. Any positive advice would be welcome.

I am 5'9 and the six inch allows the wind to beat my head

I'm about the same height as you. I went with the 8" and like it real well. Here is the place I order from. At there prices you can get several.....

I currently ride with the 4" black windshield and i love it. I get to feel the wind and I like the looks.
I put the stock one back on over the winter to keep the wind out of my face.
Let me know what you come up with.

I'm 6'2" and go with an 8" Clearview with the recurved lip, smoked. No wind in the face here.

I have a EGS and I am 6'3". The stock 12" hit me right in my line of sight. I bought an 8" smoked shield and wished I would have bought a 10". I would think the 10" would be great for ya. The 8" just lets a bit more air in my eyes than I prefer. Anyway Welcome!! Bryan
