Default 2009 SG question
Does anyone know how tall the factory windshield is? It sucks and would like to get a taller one. If the factory one is 4" then I want a 6" and if the factory is 6" I want to get a 8". Thanks for any input!!!

On mine, I went with a factory 12" and cut off one inch, I'm 6-3 and it's perfect now

Stock is 4"

I would suggest Fastaire sheilds. They are cheep (about $35) so if you get one and decide you want taller or shorter, your not out the $100+ of other brands.

I went with Fastaire 9" smoke and I am 6' 2" I t is perfect. People don't really notice the 5" height difference and still has the low look...

Just my 2 cents

It is 4". I went with Clearview 6" recurve which acts like an 8" windshield
