I'm 6'1" and use the 10 1/2 inch recurve. It's just about right. Though I might like it a half inch taller. But that's just me. It's a good shield.

(Yes, they do a 10 1/2 inch if you ask.)

6' with the 9.5 recurve!

I think that is perfect for me. The clearview is also a better quality shield, of you ask me, than stock.

This is no distortion of lights or lines in the road along the edges of the shield, like I got with the stocker.

Well worth the money.

Just ordered the 8" can't wait to get it! I molded my cheap $30 shield with a heat gun to see if I'd like the effect. Worked great so I spent the cash!

That's a pretty cool idea. Where can I get a $30 shield to experiment with?

ebay all day + 7 for shipping. I would do one thing different though I'd use a grill next time and make some sort of a gig maybe out of wood and coat it with something to press and shape with....
