Dan, No idea if this helps you at all, but I have a HD compact, low profile which is 15" (from headlight opening). It's several inches below my line of sight. I'm 5'7" , Mustang seat, pull back bars.

Boys, it is against Harley law to put a sheild on a Duece or a Rocker.

I personally think taller is better, then again I'm 6'3".

Keep in mind the WV can be adjusted "up and down" plus "back and forward" once installed.

It's a no brainer, but I went with the 16" on my Fat Boy.

I'd like to bring some life back into this thread as I'm also considering a Windvest for my Deuce. I'd like to go as minimal as possible which means 14", so who has a 14" Windvest on their FX softail and how is it working for you? Is the 14" just wishful thinking and do I really need the 16" tall version?

i run a 16" H-D deuce windsheild on long trips and cold weather, im also 6'3" and it deflects the wind up and over my head. I'm guessing if you're shorter, a 14" will work just fine. I gotta say though, i hate the look of a windshield on a deuce.. it just doesn't belong, but its totally worth it on long trips.

I had one on my '01 Deuce and got the 14". I'm 5'8" and had a Corbin Gunfighter seat on (which dropped me down a bit).

There's a bit of height adjustment available with these, I had mine mounted as low as possible.
