Need a new windshield
I have a 2010 ultra classic and it has a 6.5" wind splitter and it hits me right in the helmet and bounces my head around. (I wear a full face helmet) Any recommendations for a good windshield? I am 5'9" by the way.

We have multiple windshield sizes & tints available.
Based on your description, Id say an 7 or 8 inch Aero windshield would work nicely.
If I can help out, give me a call.

those of us who are budget-minded find that the stock windscreen is easily cut to height with a rotozip.
If you still have the stocker around, try that.
the key is to cut the bottom edge as the cleanliness of the cut is not important as it is hidden
mount the windscreen loosely
sitting upright, imagine a horizontal line intersecting your view "about" 40' in front of the bike
measure down from the top of the windscreen to your line.
that is about how much to take off of the bottom.

I'm 5'9" and have a 8" long ride shield. I have yet to find a better shield. Customer service is excellent too. I cracked mine by over tightening the screws and they sent me a replacement for free. Didn't even have to pay return shipping. Hard to beat that for something that was my fault.

Lookin' forward to it.
Most of the time when I was running Sundowner seats a 9 inch recurve /flip was fine, but now that I am running a Hammock it sits me up about an inch higher so, (which would put me at about the heighth of an Ultra) I'm going with an inch taller windshield. BTW, I'm 5'10" so a 9 may be just fine for you. FWIW.
