I'm new to the windshield thing - Where do you measure from? The top of the headlight cutout to top rim?
Mine measures 20-1/2 Inches, Right in my line of sight

You're measuring right. That's what my stock windshield measured.

I took a magic marker and put a dot at 17" and 19" to see if either would get into my line of sight. After riding a bit I decided to go with the 17 and couldn't be happier.
