I'm looking at swapping my Klock Werks 8.5" and getting an LRS ultra wide or possibly the flat top 8" or 9" for my '16 SGS. Looking for info on these and who uses them. Likes and dislikes?

I had a 10.5 flip back on my 06 a few years ago. Loved it. Sold the bike.

I use the 8" and 9" LRS Ultra Wide light tint shields on my Rushmores. 45,000 miles last two years. I'd buy the same again.

How tall are y'all? I'm 6'1" about 210. I use the stock seat and a sundowner when the CFO is aboard and 10" bars if any of it makes a difference.

I have a 7" ultra recurve on my SG. Not what you mentioned above, but thought I'd just mention that I love it. I'm 6 ft with a low seat, and it's just right for me.

I have had the HD wind splitter, klockwerks and LRS and the LRS is the best of the three. I have an 8 inch ultra and 7 inch ultra elite. I don't see much airflow difference between the two

Proper fitament is paramount!
Any windshield should fit between the upper chin and lower part of your nose.
