I'm 6' even......12" right in the middle of my eye......15" looking thru..not too cool...however ran both for some years.....
I like the 9-10" ones............plenty of protection...and you can see just fine.............

I'am 6'2" 9.5" windshield works good for me. I tried the stock one but was looking through it, and it really makes them look like old mans bikes.

I like the clearview, it's 2"taller than stock but slopes back to you 2.5" so it's sleeker looking than the stocker but gives you more protection I'm 6'2" also got the vent in the shield its very close to the top end of the radio on a Road Glide it should be in any day now plus they give 30 days to try it,if you want to change or get a refund they'll do it. A picture of one on a Roadie is in the Road Glide picture gallery give it a look

Just picked up a 6" smoked from Sin State Cycle. Excelllent quality (LEXAN) and shipped to my door in 3 days. These are as good if not better than the HD deflector. I highly recommend them!
