Default Dont see how SG owners do it...............

I recently installed the SG mirrors and a 6" windshield on EGC to give it a different look. LOVED it, however, I seem to catch every speck of dirt on the highway in my eyes now. (Im only 5' 8") Back to the 9" windshield. How do you guys do it????

Around town is ok, but on the highway, cant stand the debris in my eyes.

Have RX sunglasses, so getting more with the inserts arent an option.

[QUOTE=mwriggs;5025160]... and a 6" windshield on EGC to give it a different look...

The oem wind deflecter that came on my 09 SG is only 4 inches. You can always lower the rear instead of buying a new windshield.
