How kick *** is that!

Nice look, but made in acrylic...
Not for me: it's too dangerous!

I am 5'8" on a good day, and I have a 6.5" Clearview Recurve on an '08 SG with a Corbin seat. (Trying to give you all the things that interact with windscreen height.)

If I had it to do again I think I would try a recurve with a 7.5" height. Every once in a while a dragon fly or something makes it through the wind-slip generated by the recurve and hits me right in the forehead.

I'm in the minority; I still ride with the stock 4 inch windshield. I don't mind the wind at all.

Running a 6" LRS Ultra. Works well, but I think I'm going to get a 7" or 8". I'm 5'9".

10'' dark gray Freedom Shield (freedomshields.com). I'm 6'3'' sittin' on a Danny Gray ''Big Seat", which is a little lower than the stock seat. It's recurve type and it works great.

Windvest 10" and I'm 5' 10" on a good day. So I'd say a 9" in your case. Great shield thick clear plastic over a year on mine now not a problem one.

I used street glide standard windshield in my flht, it's very uncomfortable in high speed, change to standard clear one.... It's the best so far..... Order KW 6.5" I hope will be better from standard...... Will report soon
