wind splitter
There is a new Windsplitter coming out that is a 10" 'light smoke'. It's basically clear compared to the dark smoke. I put the 7" on mine a well. I'm right at 6" and it did reduce the wind buffeting slightly, but as stated above, is still like having no windshield at all.

What size windsplitter?
I'm 6'1". I tried the Windsplitter, albeit briefly, on my 2011 SG. The Windsplitter does look good on the SG, BUT for that kind of money it needs to do more than just look good.
If you're in the 6-foot range and you wear regular sunglasses, the Windsplitter is not going to work for you. If you wear wrap-around sunglasses or motorcycle goggles AND you like the wind in your face, then the Windsplitter MAY work for you. How it works for your passenger is another story.
The bottom line is this: If you're a 6-footer, then you're gonna get wind in your face, no matter how you slice it.
I sold my Windsplitter and purchased an 8-inch Fast Aire "Aero" windshield (dark gray) with the recurve design. The "Aero" windshield has a classy look, is made of polycarabonate and costs about half the price of the Windsplitter. Plus, Jim Blackmon, the owner, is a great guy who also happens to do a lot of riding!
I love my Fast Aire "Aero" windshield.

What size Windsplitter did you try on your SG? Was it the 10"? I am interested because I am getting an 2012 SG and was intending to put the 10" Windsplitter on it. I am 6ft 1.5 ".
