I guess it depends on what you mean by "upgrade." Are you only talking about HD products? Clearview and Klockwerks are two companies that make replacement windshields in a variety of heights and have the "lip" at the top for deflecting the air a couple inches higher.

Had the dealer put on a 6" when I picked up the bike, still found too much wind for my liking, went to an 8" aftermarket (cheapie) shield, worked OK but easily scratched during cleanings.&nbsp\\;
Recently upgraded to a 9.5" Recurve from Clearview, this one is great - really keeps the wind off and still looks great in my opinion, very fine quality shield.
