Default street bob batwing windscreen questions

Ok so I just got a 06 street bob that came with a batwing faring and a 5inch windscreen. The windscreen is pretty much useless. I ride with a passenger alot so i need a windscreen that will cover her head as well. Keep in mind she is 5foot. I noticed the options are 6" 9" 12" straight design or 6" 9" a curved design. What works better? and what looks better?

Thanks so much guys for your help.

What brand is the fairing your running? When you say "curved" do you mean one like the klock werks flare? http://www.kustombaggers.com/NEW-201...logId=-1790#/0

Default Make sure it not updraft instead

My last bike was a street glide, batwing fairing, 3 inch windshield. I thought it was useless, bought a 6 inch recurve from long ride, still got beat up, bought an 8 inch recurve, same thing only ugly as well as useless. Then while riding I had my hand on my knee and extended my fingers....whoosh, my hand pushed up and I understood then the air beating me up was coming from underneath, not from head on. I bought a set of chrome fork walrus tusks on eBay, put the stock 3 inch windshield back on and I could light a smoke at 55 mph after that. I eventually added the fairing vent wing things from Harley so I could actually direct air to me on hot days. Check it out. I bet you find the same thing.

Memphis shades. I always have a passenger so i figured that the 9inch would work for her face as well. THey do make side wings for your legs as well. Maybe both would be good.
