I think I might get a 10" one for longer trips. Now I don't like the stock one at all and the 8" I have lets a little bit of buffeting hit my helmet. Nice for around town but when I go cross-country I want a bit taller.

I have one of those on my bike "Halfmoon Wings". Love it. I have the 10" light smoke version. I've rode over 4000 miles with it. One of their advertised features is that the reduced wind lets you hear the radio better and it actually does. Also makes a noticeable difference in wind/radio for the passenger.
Would I buy one again? Yes. But I might go with an 11" next time.

After read'in even more positive replies about this shield, I decieded to order a 14" clear mar resistant flat top as well as the 11" drk tint and the ultra blk wings. Seems like a long time answer for a couple problems with protection and sound.....

all I can say is that if you are disappointed I would venture to guess that it would be your own fault.
The only thing I can think of is that your shield might be too tall, and it won't feel like riding a bike anymore.

And by the way, I'm 6' 2" so I think these two sizes would be a good choice. Thanks for the heads up on the Dakota site, I got them confussed at first too. robindae@earthlink.net is the site I ordered from.

I got one too, and the folks are really, really great. They sell on ebay, and their called half moon wings.... Just key in FLHX windshield in the search, and they'll come up. Oh, and the other nice thing, they will ANY SIZE you want at no extra charge. I had them cut me a 7 1/2", and I love it. Tell em Craig from Montana sent you.
