Default JD T Sport Windshield Sizing

Tried searching the forums and couldn't find any definitive answers on windshield size to t bar height. I am currently running lucky daves 14 inch san diego bar and I would like know what size windshield you are running and how much higher or lower your shield is compared to handlebar height. I would like to just order one shield vs multiple in finding the correct size. TIA

the T-sport shield height is almost 1=1 for handle bar height.

I'd imagine you need to pick windshield size based on your height, not bars. that is if you're planning to ride your bike with it and not just look at it. buffeting is real, and if windshield is too tall you will not see much

This is what I am trying to do, I wasn't able to get a measurement from JD on how far a certain size shield is from the headlight. So I am using what people are running with mx bars and using that to measure a shield for myself.
