...... i'm 6'2 & had an issue w/ hearing the stereo @ highway speed also. Picked up a flamed Harley shield on eBay. It's taller (15 or 16") than the stock RG touring shield, and looks good both coming & going.

+1 on Sonar Chris's post. That's mine on the first page CV Lg. +2. I'm 6'1 and can look over the shiled by 2-3". The recurve at the top makes it act like it's 2" taller. One of the best mods I had done.

Finding just the right windshield for your RG can be hard. I'm only 5' 10" the best fit and function for me was the Clearview GT small. I still want another shield for the summer when I just want the bike to look cool and don't need much protection.

10" Wind Vest (for Summer):
12" Wind Vest (for Winter):
Both together so you can see the difference.
I'm 5'8" and run a Danny Gray seat which is about 1-2 (?) inches lower than stock. These configurations (summer/winter) work well for me.
Best price I found shipped for these windshields was at Dennis Kirk...
