LRS Measuring ?
Are the shield heights measured from the center mounting bolt or from the top edge of the fairing??
Also, say you have a 8" shield now, would the recurve in a 7" be about the same for protection considering the recurve edge?

yes its measured from center bolt, youre supposed to take a level from youre lip nose aera ,then measure to center bolt, would help for another pair of hands, to get the size u need, im 5' 9" on an 07 sg with a 7" med tint an 8" was too high for me when you settle in or lean back was right in eye sight. bud

If you do a lot of 2up riding, unless you want something a little more radical, look at the "flat top". I got a 10in medium tint for when the wife is on, and she loves it. I look over it unless I want to take advantage of the tint riding into the sun...and have a 9in x-stream for solo trips...awesome shields, and wonderful folks to deal with!
Follow their instructions for measuring and you can't go wrong.

I agree with both of ya, if you ride a lot at nite? might want the light tint, if I were riding late at nite I would of went llite tint, the flat top works great for passanger cut a lot of buffeting. bud

LRS shields are about 3/8" taller than what they state, be careful. I had to buy a second one because of this.

On yours, you should have called them on the extra 3/8" and demanded a new shield on the house at the height you requested. I asked James about the trial deal if I wasn't happy and he said that if the protective paper is removed, they won't take it back.UMMMMMMM..... I hope I made the right decision buying two shields..
