Road Glide Clearview windshield

Just got my 09 Road Glide and it definitely need a windshield. From all prior posts I want to go with the clearview but not sure what size to order. I'm 6' 1" and it seems like I look way over the stock. Based on that I'm thinking the large recurve windshield but didn't know if anyone about my height had used the medium. I'd like to keep it smaller if possible. I've still got the stock seat but will probably go with the HD Sundowner at some point. Any thoughts?
Thanks

i,m 6ft. tall and bought the medium for my road glide and it was great for me, still could have gone taller. i recently bought a pillow top seat which is a little taller than the stock seat.

Call John at clearview, he will give you advice. You can buy a couple just don't take the film off. Try them then ship back the ones that don't work. I'm in the process of doing that now. After collecting 4 that did not suit me.

Or you can buy one of those windshields that stick WAAAAy up in the air.
The recurve is your best bet if you want "function".

Thanks for your input. I believe I'll go with the large.

Hello,

I am 6'1" with 34 inch inseam,

I have the Clearview GT +2 with tint and vent,

This works much better than the stock shield, which gave severe head buffeting,

I can see over the shield whether slouching or good posture straight back cruising,

I am 6'1" and went with the XL Tall Clearview. Just right! I look just over the shield.

Call and ask if they have any blems that might work for you. I have two of their blems and two more coming in a couple of days and frankly it's near impossible to find. Besides after a bug splat... it doesn't matter. Call John he will help you out.
