Think I'm going to try a shorter shield. I just realized(duh...) I'm actually 5'8 after converting 176cm. So, I'm thinking a 7" is the way for me and not my current 9".
I've the Ultra dark now, so I think I'll try a flat top this time around.
i ordered one this week. Ordered off the web but couldnt get the credit card thing to come up. Used my paypal too pay , got a email today that it cleared havnt heard from lrs yet hopefully its on its way.
I picked up a used 9" LRS Ultra (recurve) from kdod here on the forum. I am 6'-2" and "ride proud" in traffic/city for visibility both ways. The 9" took care of most of my terrible buffeting problems and it's short enough that it looks great. I just looked at their website for the Ultra-Elite mentioned above, it's a polycarb shield and right now it's 40% off. Shoot, that's a better deal than I got on my used Ultra!
I recently installed a Road Glide seat that is a bit lower, even than the Badlander, and am thinking about picking up an 8". With my wife on the back, or when I finally get some Progressive shocks, it is just a bit too tall and I am having to look through instead of over it.

I have the 7" on my 08 FLHX. I'm 6' tall and it didn't reduce the buffeting much. I'm thinking of going up to an 8". The quality is the best and the service is great!
I agree, im 6'1 and not sure what to go with and don't want to buy a bunch either... I have a buddy that is 5'11 and he put on the klock werks 6.5 inch and he swears by it and keeps tellin me I would be happy but I think im gonna keep readin and eventually talk to different mfg's and see. I do like what ive heard on the LRS
