Default Fxdxt windshield advice

I'm ready to get a new windshield for my t-sport. For those of you who have replaced the stock one, what size did you buy? Good? Bad?

I just bought a t-sport and am wondering the same thing.

I rock a simpson outlaw helmet and get a really bad wind buffering on the highway, I have to tilt the screen all the way out and even then it's still there.

I'm wondering if I go shorter will it make it worse or better ...

That's what I was leaning towards. I'm running 12" WC MX-tbars and wanted to keep the windshield around that same height.

Yeah, I have a clear 16" stocker but the clear coat is chipping but it's 16.5" and too tall IMO. The 14.5" will be perfect with my 12" Wctbars

It's been 8 days since I ordered it and haven't received a email stating its been shipped yet, also their website says 9-14 days I believe since they are made to order

I'm sure you've posted pics, but would you happen to have one of the windshield, kinda up close? I'm curious about the height of the windshield compared to the bars.
