Default Windvest Windshield

Anybody got one of these on 08-10 Road Glide? Trying to decide on correct height. I'm 5'11" w/stock seat. Want to look over top without it splitting line of site. Mine's a 2010 & can't even hear the radio @ highway speed using the short stock screen.

I'd be interested in this windshield too. I was at Street Vibrations yesterday and met Doug the President of Windvest yesterday. Nice looking shield in person, but I'd like some feedback from someone who already has the shield before I buy one.

I got a buddy that has a a 10" on his 09' SERG. He is 6', and said if he had to do it again, would get a bit taller. He says its the best shield he has ever had, and he has tried many before, on many other bikes as well.

Best thing to do, is like is mentioned above.. just call them.

Im 6'5" and just bought the 12" and it works well for me. you should sit on bike and have someone use a tape measure to measure the height you need. The 8" looks alot better than the 12 thats for sure. I would say the 12" for me lets just a little more air come thru than the stock shield. It just right.
