The sticker logo is easily removed. Just start at it with a sharp object then clean off the sticky residue.

OP, just call them for correct height. I do not look through a shield but over them. Have one of their shields on both bikes.

They should be giving me kickback....

I have an 8" light tint on my '06 and am very happy with it. Being vertically challenged, I can still see over the top and deflects over me very well

Prefer the 10 but at 6'1", it was too short. Had to go with the 12" - Love it!!

Had 2 on a previous Street Glide. When I got my current RKC, it had a big old 20 incher on it. Immediately went to a LRS 16" Elite. Love the recurve. I've never had a bad experience with LRS. No desire to try another brand at this point.

Looking to do the same for my RK, I'm 5'9 and was wondering if the 16 would possibly be to short but your saying the 16 is perfect for the RK what is your. height?
