RE: clearview windshield
Here's a handy page for figuring out how to size up a windshield without trying all of them first.
http://www.fastaire.com/Measurement.html
Most manufacturers measure this way so they will be close to the same when buying.
I'm 5'8" and can just see over a 9" so the 8" is better for me in the summer.
I use the stock 12" "EG Standard" when it turns cold and look under the top edge by 3".
Some people don't like to look through their shield , but I don't mind for the extra protection it gives.
If you want the most wind protection , get the tallest shield you can live with.
I used the Fastaire how-to and it worked pretty well for me.

RE: clearview windshield
Well...you cannot block ALL the wind, so it comes down to a compromise between if you want to be comfortable, or look cool, and be ucomfortable.
I put a 9.5 inch smoked Clearview on my Ultra. I am also 5'10. It is about 3 inches below my line of sight, and does a great job of deflection the wind up and over my head.

RE: clearview windshield
Best bet is to call mfr. and tell them your measurements, they are very helpful and customer friendly. You'll love their windshields. The recurve really works.
