I thought I seen that addressed somewhere in an earlier post in this thread: But remember it all depends on your height and your passengers height in the saddle as well as the height of the shield that you have.
Good question but more input is needed...

Not sure...my passenger (wife) is a "fair weather" rider; if its not above 60 degrees she won't get on the bike.

My better half is also a fair weather rider. Thats why I dont want to buy without this input from the guys who have one. I dont wanna change windshield everytine she want to go along for a ride but I want her to be comfortable as well.

I'm gonna see if the 9" or 10" will fit better, although I am not a tester, I bought mine and will try to work something out.

Yuck! Maybe I'm **** but I don't like what I see. I'll keep my Long Ride recurve and the T-Bags.

Could you please do me a favor and measure from the top of the batwing to the top of the center portion of the shield? I'm wondering how much shorter, if any, the 9" shield is compared to my 9.5" HD shield from a SE Ultra.
