Default Show me your bikes with 8" windshields

I am thinking of changing my 4' to an 8" windshield to hopefully deflect abit more of the wind. Let's see what your 8" looks like.

I'm just under 5'11, but most of my height is in my upper body. I probably sit as high as many people that are 6'-2 or 3". I went from the 4" stock windshield to a 9-1/2" H-D clear windshield that I used all of last year. It helped immensely, but my helmet and my Wife's helmet still get some buffeting. I've ordered a clear 10" Windvest windshield with the turned up lip since I've heard that the lip throws the wind about 4 or 5" higher that the straight windshields of the similar height. It is supposed to arrive this Friday and I'm hoping to try it out this weekend if the weather cooperates.
