Default windshield height for 2 up riding

I'm trying to reduce the turblance for my wife while we are riding my Heritage 2 up. I have no problems but she sits above me and the windshield and takes the full force of the wind. Will a taller windshield help her? How about the chrome fork mounted wind deflectors?

Default RE: windshield height for 2 up riding

I had the same problem with my Ultra. Wife complained about the turbulence and my visor on my half helmet would vibrate at speed. I installed the tall boy (2 inches taller ) windshield and it solved my problems completely. It did cause me some mpg decrease but the difference is not bad and the wind relief is great. Hope this helps
