Aftermarket 9" 1/2 smoke from FairAir.... or something like that.. Off ebay for 38 bucks.. Great shield.. OH and I am 5'10"....

 

If you haven't ordered yet.....

I am 5'9" or 5'10", have a Road Glide seat on my EG so it sits just slightly lower than the stock EG seat, running a 6" dark smoked FastAire shield. I also have the air deflector between the forks and the wing deflectors. I can see over the shield just fine and the wind hits me in the chin. The buffeting is very light and never annoying. I have actually considered the 8" shield but I want the dark smoked tint and I think it may be a problem at night, so I will stick with the 6".

Hope this helps.

 

I'm 6'1" have a sundowner touring seat (un-modified) and currently use a 8" clearview recurve. Like many SG owners you will probably end up with several shields. I have a 6" HD, 12" memphis shades, and will probably add a 9.5" clearview recurve to complete the collection. They all have good uses. Some look better than others. I agree with many that above 8" you lose the chopped look.

 

Add another very satisfied Fastaire customer to the growing list. Jim's a pleasure to do business with.

Recently ordered, received, and installed the 8" Dark Sunglass Grey. I'm 5' 11" and the 8" puts the windflow just over my head. I'm using a Mustang solo seat, so that dropped me down about another inch as well.

 

8" smoked Clearview with recurve

 

I feel like an expert on this, because I have made so many mistakes already.
I have the Sun Downer seat and I'm 5' 10" tall.

I've had the following: Stock shield, which was to short. Moved to the HD 6.5, which was still to short. Switched to HD 9.5, oh this ones to tall & still has slight buffeting. Switched to the Clear View 8" recurve. Like how I can see over it, but dam buffeting is back[:@]

Now have 9.5 Clear View recurve. Its just slightly taller than I would prefer, but buffeting is thing of past.

I did notice that when I wear my FF helmet which is taller than my brain bucket, I had more problems with buffeting. So how tall your helmet is also is a factor.

 

I'm 5'11" and have the 6 1/2 inch smoked shield from Harley.

 

The general rule is you want your shield about nose height ... has worked well for me.
