Default Roadglide windvest windshield

Some of you guys must run these! Any comments, good or bad would be appreciated. Right now I am using a GT Small Clearview ('05 Roadglide) and it's about 2" to tall for me. I'm 5'11" and admittedly ride with a slouch (always have). I run 12" apes and the C/View's to edge is right in my line of sight. I'm not badmouthing the product, it's to notch, I just bought the wrong height. I'm looking at Windvest because C/V doesn't make the size I need. I just got back from Cody, WY and it took me 2300 miles to figure out why my back was killing me (streching to look over). Come on guys, need as much info as possible and any photos if you can. Thanks,

MarkR

windvest works good. I also have a clearview gt small, and a windvest 12in, sounds like the windvest 12 will work for you.

Compared to the C/V GT small, home much shorter is the 12" windvest?
