Default 1990 FLHTCU Windshield

Currently I have a Slipstreamer 12" windshield on my 1990 Ultra Classic.
I am 5'8" and I am looking directly into the middle of the windshield. I would rather look over and I would like to feel the wind. I am looking at a 4" in either black or dark tint.
Anybody here with my height that could give me some suggestions as to the brand and the size? The windshield on my bike now is 1/4" lexan clear. Do I need to get the same thickness? the small windshields on Ebay that are around $30.00 don't give the thickness dimensions.

You'll notice a lot more wind. You may or may not like it. I have a 4" black chop 5 hole I took off that I would sell you for $15. It has some swirly scratches that will polish out. If you like the low windshield you can resell it it get a new one. PM me if you're interested.
