For a 're-curve' type shield, you want to look over it. The top of the shield should be level with between the tip of your nose and mouth. Mustache level. This also equates to about 2" below your line of site. If you have a stock 10" on there now and are looking right at the top edge where you're not looking over or through it, you want an 8" With ours, measure from the center screw, up.

My issue I assume is wind buffering. At highway speeds my eyes have a hard time focusing. It is like someone is shaking my head slightly but very fast. I have read forums on this and allot of the comments are about air guides. From what I can tell my bike comes with these already on it. Not any good pictures of what they are talking about.

I got the best one for me-I'm 5'10" and I put the 7" dark tint on and I look over the top that's the best combo for me.
