Default 7 inch windsplitter

Anyone have pics of their SG with a 7.5 inch windshield? Have the 4.5 but want to see what 7.5 would look like before I invest more bucks. Thanks!

I have it but no pictures. Works and looks great. Really cut the helmet buffeting. Adding the fork baffle today. I can even see down through it at night which surprised me. I am impressed with it.

I have photos of a 7" wind splitter not a 7.5. FYI.....it's not 7" because the curve rearward is so pronounced....the actual height is 4" and not 7".

Also....you lose a 1/2" because HD measures from the screw and not the fairing.

I just replaced it with a LRS which is a true 7" due to the angle.

So if I can ask a question here, (not meaning to high jack the thread). My 2014 SGS is my first touring bike. What is the measurement of the stock HD windshield. I am looking to get a windshield that is around 2" taller than stock but I keep seeing this manufacturer measures from here and this other on measures from here. So if I am looking for 2 inches higher, where am I starting from with stock?

The 7" LRS is about 2" taller. LRS measures from the center of the bolt holes while the stock HD is 4.5" and measures from the exposure not the holes

As for the 7" windsplitter, found it useless for the cost, the 7"LRS was much better

I am bringing my LRS to the tinter today, the dark color like you and I have is just not dark enough.
