Default Memphis shades batwing owners

Could someone that owns a Memphis shades batwing on 06 or newer dyna take a measurement for me ?
I would like the measurement from the top of triple tree/ base of riser to the top of batwing .... I Am trying to decide on what windshield I want to order and its nearly impossible without knowing how high the fairing itself is .

Memphis Shades has dimensions of all their batwings on their website in the FAQ's section.

And so many people have modified or custom mounting brackets that you won't be able to rely on any
of the measurements. My Batwing has custom mounts with HD quick release clamps and I know quite a
few others have done things similar to mine..

I had the BW on my 08 dyna and moved it over to a 07 fxstc . I have the 6 1/2" curved spoiler shield on it and love it. I'm 6 ft and 32" inseam I can look over the shield the curved top on it makes it act as if it was 3" taller just like they told me when I called memphis shades. Hope this helps you.

The dimension on my Superglide from the top of the top tree to the top edge of the fairing is approximately 8". That is with the Memphis Shades top clamp for their mount against the bottom of the top tree. I have a Clearview 8" windshield installed. The top of the shield is at my nose with my Corbin Classic Solo seat, i'm about 5" 9" tall.
