Default 15 Road Glide question

Just put a down on a 15 RG special but I have a question. I have never owned one before and I have no idea how to figure my shield height. I have owned bat wings so I need some advice. I am 5'7". I rode the cvo road glide ultra this weekend and the shield height seemed good on it. Does anybody know that height? Plus I will have a passenger most of the time. Any help would be appreciated. Also does any of those aero shaped ones help.

Most dealers have demo shields of different heights to try. When you pick the bike up, try the different heights and find one to suit you.

Part # for the 2015 CVO RoadGlide WInd Shield is 57400262. I believe it's the equilivent of the 15.5 inch clear found in the P&A catalog Part # 57400281.

I personally really like the wind Splitters. They give me about 20% less head wind. It comes in a light smoke Part #57400270 for the 15 inch. I recommend this one especially if you're riding with a passenger that you want to keep the wind off of.

At 5'7'' you might be able to get away with the 12inch smoked Part #57400271. Mentioned above, most dealers will have demo windshields they will allow you to try before you buy. Ideally you want your eye line to be right above the top of the shield.
