I'm 6'4 and went with a Clearview XL on my '07 RG. Perfect for me.

I also had a short smoked one that mine came with and it is great for summer,but I also towered over it a 6'2" and ordered another(dealer paid for it) the 12" windsheild
worked good for cooler times!

...... 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.

Bought my shield of 'flea-bay' from BikersDelight........
8" darksmoked works perfect for me and my riding style. we can talk
back and forth, listen to the music, and also hear the rumble of
the Rush exhaust.....

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...
