Could you guys post pics if your bike has a LRS (Long Range Shields) windshield? If you post photos, can you mention which shield you have (MegaCurve, Ultra, etc) and what size it is? I'm between a 7" and 8" MegaCurve right now, but their site doesn't have much for photos to show how the different sized look on Street Glides or Ultra Glides. I've also dug around a lot of forums and I'm not finding great info. on this either. Thanks!

I have the MegaCurve and was not impressed. I also have the Ultra Elite, both are 9". Currently running the Ultra Wide in 9", which is my personal favorite. They are all good shields, just a matter of preference.
As far as the wind feeling, I really don't notice much difference between the two.
I like the 7 inch better, because I can see over the top easier. The 9" was right on the edge of eye level.
I prefer to look over and not through.
If you want to look "through" the shield, you want taller than 9" and also won't want it tinted either.
Very hard to see through the tint at dusk/night
