4 and 6 inch wind sheilds are great on a bar hopper or when you ride below 50 MPH. I like a little more speed so mine came off before the bike left the show room. 10" for me.

I went to a 6" because the nag on the back was bitchin bout the wind with the 4". The 6" really wasn't much taller than the 4" so the 6" is collecting dust in the garage and went with a smoke 10". She seems to be satisfied for now anyway. At 5'6" I'm definitely looking through it. Would like to try an 8" but I'm getting to much invested in these things.Took a recent road trip to NE OK and had issues with debris and I just wear form fitting sunglasses with no foam.

I use the stock screen for around the city, but if I plan a longer ride the 9.5" works well. I'm 5' 11".
