8.5 if you can find one. Most manufacturers make an 8".
Check out Windvest, they make a nice 8" with a recurve that is more pronounced than Clearview etc.

I'm 5'10" and use a 6 1/2" shield. Wind goes over the helmet

I am 6'2" and currently have a 9.5" Clearview light tint with a recurve and it works great with my Corbin duel touring seat. I think at your height a 8" shield would work well for you or maybe a 6" with a recurve would also work, I think you would not be gaining much with a regular 6" shield over the stock 4" shield IMHO.

If you wear a half helmet than a 8" with recurve is nice

6'2" here and I run a dark tint clearview 9.5" with recurve. I tend to sit up pretty straight. Works great.
