Guys, looking to buy a detachable windscreen. I'm 5'6 and have an 07 Deluxe. How tall of a windscreen would you recommend, the standard or the low??

 

Since you didn't specify the height of the standard or low, I would buy the standard. If it is too high you can cut it down. If the low is too low you're SOL.

 

Both will look like a windshield so get the standard. I am guessing you want protection. While any windshield will reduce wind affects, you'll have less noise and less buffeting with more. Other factors: seat height, helmet style, bars.

 

You should be able to look over your windshield, not through it. A good judge of height is the top of the windshield should be about the same as the tip of your nose, while sitting comfortably on the bike.

 

+1 on freedomRider's advice, I am 5'5 2016 Deluxe, I have the standard size and the top comes to the tip of my nose, I have no helmet buffet at any speed. If you do highway riding you will probably just keep it on the bike. Mine only comes off for cleaning/maintenance.

 

Your dealer might have demo windshields with the measurements marked out on it. That way you can hold it up over the headlight as see what height you want.

I have a 16" LRS recurve on my nostalgic HD windshield frame. Love it. See over it easily wirh no buffeting. Look for great specials at LRS from time to time.
