Anyone have opinions on a good one for riding two up? I'm eyeing the LRS Flattop and looking for yeas or nays.

Check out Long Rider Shields. They are a form sponser and have a great product. They also have great instructions and a video on how to measure the height you need. I'm running a 10in "flat top" for 2-up and like the way I'm looking over the shield but it blocks the wind over both myself and my passenger. I also have one of the ""extreams" for solo trips, as well as one on my Heritage.

look at the Long Ride Shields -- I love mine -- if you ride two up, they make one for that and it works as my wife noticed the difference immediately

I'm 5'11" and I love my LRS 8" dark tint ultra recurve.

If you are going to change your seat or bars, do that first. It will make a big difference in how your windshield is going to work.

This.

Seat first, then bars, then windshield. Nice thing about having an adjustable windshield is that it's not quite so crucial.
