I am wondering who is all running these windshields. I am wondering if their 9" would work for me. I am 6' 2" and could use some input from you guys that have them. Also is the dark grey shield comparable as the stock smoked HD as far as seeing through it if you wanted to?
Thanks,
Jason

I have the 12" clear on mine and love it. Lets me see over it by 1 1/2 - 2", no helmet buffering. Might even go to the 13". I am 5'8", you have to remember it moves the windscreen back towards you. You won't be able to use any of the windshield bags, but it is worth it on the interstate and in the rain.

Yeah, you have to remember that when they say 9" they are measuring the length of the shield. So it's comparable to 5"-6" stock shield. I use a 13" Cee Bailey that my eye level is still 2-3 inches above the windshield and I'm 5'11". I have a 15" that I bought and never put on still sitting in the box somewhere. It's dark smoke (It's like looking through dark sunglasses, but you're not gonna be looking through it anyway.) I'd be willing to sell it if you decided you wanted to go that route. You're best bet is to give them a call ask them what would be best for you.

Yeah, Dark Grey is the dark smoke. Opaque Black is like spray painting it black - can't see through it at all.
