Depends on how tall you sit in the saddle. I'm 6'1" also and got the 9.5" clearviewrecurve. Much less wind buffeting, still looks good but makes the hwy miles much more comfortable.

Yep, clears the helmet. Icando 75 all day with my regular prescription glasses on with the clearview. I got the darkest one they have, It looks great.

Idid ordered some panoptx riding glasses for a tighter fit and to keep my eyes from drying out on longer trips though.
