Windshield recommendation - 2 up riding on '03 FXDL

Hey all -

Anyone have any recommendations for windshields that work well for 2-up riding? I put on a stock 12" windshield, which for highway riding - is just unacceptable -wind beat the heck out of our heads.

Ive heard of recurved windshields, touring and sport models. Doesnt matter to me about QD or standard docking hardware. Im 5'8", wife's 5'5" - anyone have similar circumstances and if so - whats been your preference - leaning more on wife's comfort while riding on back.

thanks in advance.

Here's what I put on my 02 FXD. Windshield,H-D standard height, p/n-58063-04. The windshield provides some protection from the wind and didn't hear any complaints from the wife on a long trip. I put on a H-D Sundowner deep bucket seat, nice wide passenger seat for the wife and on the medium-low sissy bar (H-D p/n 52754-04) a nice back rest pad (H-D p/n 51132-98). Happy wife, happy life. After all the time and money to build up to a comfy ride she likes, she found me an 05 FXDLI for my solo rides. She's a keeper. The windshields will create a dead air spot right in front of you and the engine will be noisier, thought I would let you know.
