I will now add all thee dead horse beating to my post so the **** guys know I know - it's a subject that has been dragged to shi@!

I'm also 5' 10" and have an 8" smoked Clearview on mine. Perfect fit for me looking over the windshield, not through it.

Usually used the HD 9 1/2" clear and it is a good shield. Tried the Klockwerks 10 1/2" and didn't like it as I had to look thru it. Now running the Klockwerks 6 1/2" light tint and love it. Gives the bike a unique look and no air on the face at all. I am 5'11".

8in Half-moon wings from customflhtwindshields for me at 6' works great. Great for the passenger also and makes the radio sound clearer.

I am 5'10". I have a cheap 8" no recurve. It works pretty good. I am going to go to the 8" Clearview.

6 foot and using the 8" Fast Aire. Cut down all the wind except the wind coming off the lower part of the fairing.

6.5" Windvest here. 6' 1" and the air almost clears my helmet, will be perfect with my new seat.

i'm 6'4" tall, and got the windshield that's two inches shorter than the electraglide windshield. now that being said, i replaced the streetglide seat with a roadglide seat, and wow what a huge difference in comfort, aside from that, the seat raised me another inch or so, but the 9-1/2" or ten inch for me, works best. if ya take your left hand and raise it while at hiway speeds, you can determine where the wind blast occurs, helping to figure out where you want to direct the wind blast.
