Default Dark Oversize Wind Deflector?

Looking to get a bit more wind protection on my 08 SG. I have the low deflector now and had a king-size shield on my softail. Liked the protection of the shield, but also like the stying of the deflector. I am 5'10.

Anyone try this "splits the difference between the wind deflector and a low windshield, offering sport styling with a little greater wind protection." deflector or had good results with something else?

Thanks,
Arthur

I use A radiant smoked shield dark on the bottom and clear on the top. 9 inches high works well for me.

I am 5'8". I bought a 6" wind deflector from Fast Aire for my 06 SG. I could not be happier. It pushes the air over my head w/ room to spare. The stock one made the top of my head buffet so I am loving the 6".

It was only around $30 or so.

6 inch still looks sporty but gives more protection

I bought a Fastair 9" 1/2 smoked off eBay... Shipped for 38 bucks..!! Very nice and keeps the wind down.. You might also consider putting a baffle on your ft. lowers...
