Default 14 or 16 inch windvest
I think I've decided on a Windvest Windshield for my '07 Bob. I'm six feet tall. I'd rather go with the 14" model, if that'll be high enough. Any recommendations from you Windvest owners? Thanks.

I'd go for the sixteen inch.Reverse the clamps on the handlebar and get the base of the shield as low as you can while still keeping the top about the height of the tip of your nose.Most turbulence comes from below.

At five eight the fourteen inch would probably work.

Good Luck

Tom

I am 5-9 and have the 14inch, but seat is realy low. I am happy with it. If I was taller I think the 16inch would be a better choice.

I'm 6'2 and I bought the 16 inch...I would recommend going with that size. I believe it can be adjusted two inches up or down. I always ride with mine on the lowest setting, it stops the wind coming up at the bars....just my opinion.
