I love the 8" smoked Clearview with recurve on my '07 SG. It's perfect for my height (5' 10").

5'9" and use a 6.5" dark smoke recurve...kills all the buffeting.

I'm 6' and I'm thinking 8" recurve as well. Let us know how you like it.
What kind of helmet if any do you all wear? and how does it work with your screen?

6.5" recurve... no need for the full windshield anymore..even on long trips.
5'9" with standard open face type helmet

Can't really believe they sell the bike with the 4".. sure buzzes your head around

8 inch recurve is amazing except when it rains. I keep a visor in the tour pack for rainy days

I went with the 9 1/2" and have loved it for over 20k.
