I am 6' tall and went with the 10" half moon in lite tint. I rode 25 miles today to test my new sheild. It was good but I should have went with the 11", the buffing hits the top of my helment.Also, I notice a lot more buffing coming from under the batwing that was not there with the OEM sheild, so maybe I need the small sheilds for under the farring. I also have a 9.5" Clearveiw sheild on the way.I'll keep the the best one and post the pros and cons later!!!

Not a bad looking shield and most importantly, you've solved your problem!

First impression I didn't like the way they looked. Maybe because they were just so different. I kept going back to the website and looking at the pics though. They grew on me and I ordered a tinted 10" half moon. I really like it and wouldn't go back to stock. My hogtunes sound better too. I have heard the flat top design works good up front, but not so good for the passenger. Stay with half moon shape if your two up a lot. The seller told me that herself.

Please let us know what you find out on that. By looking at pics on the Kuryakyn website I have my doubts, but would like to know for sure.

I'm 6'2" and have the 9 1/2" Clearview. It doesn't quite get the job done for me. Against a good head wind it doesn't quite lift the air high enough. Also, it is narrower than the stock shield (Ultra) so you get more wind from the sides.
I put the stocker on for the winter. Probably sell the Clearview and try one of the custom fits.

Have the 11" light tint flat top,mar resistant.I'm 5'10'' and would probably go with the 10'' if ordering again. Real good product so far. No wind in the face at all and you can't beat the price.
