Default Windshield advice please - RGS

I'm 6'5" and sit tall in the saddle. I recently purchased a 2022 Road Glide Special. Amazingly enough, the stock windshield is not that bad. The air flow seems to hit me between the nose and tip of the helmet. I was thinking about getting a 2" taller windshield. Any thoughts? What height would a 2" taller shield be?

Call John at freedom shields. He will fix you up. Ask about a forum discount. His shields are great.

Threads like this will generally yield a list of everything that exists.

Personally I love my Madstad.

I purchased the clearview, because 1. its affordable 2. its very clear (hence the name), but tints are available, and 3. it has a recurve that really helps with the buffeting.
