Default Newbie Fatbob needs a windshield

I know this question has probably been asked to death but I tried the HD Qd compact and couldn't get rid of the buffeting. Got lucky and the dealer let me return it. I like what I hear about windvest but at 5'11 not sure which to get 14 or 16 any input or pics would be great.

Got the 15" HD windshield on mine and love it. I'm 5'9" so being a short bastard probably helps my cause a little. I'll try to get a pic of it up on here soon.

I'm 5'10" and use a 16" Windvest. The Harley QD compact did not work for me either. I use Memphis Shades Lowers and a fork bag also.

I use the Memphis Shades Speed Demon. I'm only 5'8", but it helps a lot with the constant winds down here, and is noticeably better when overtaking 18 wheelers on the highway. Still feel the wind on my face, but it keeps it from blowing me around by my chest. Looks good, too, with the black bottom.
