Default 6.5" windsheild

Would someone mind to post a pic with a 6.5" windshield on. I have a SG and I like the wind in my face alittle but with the stocker it hits me right between the eyes making my glasses vibrate. Thanks.

I put the 6" on my UC. The wind beat me up so bad I had a stiff neck. I put the 9" back on. I might end up using a 8". Still experimenting.

Does the 6.5" make that much differenceoverthe stock 4" I think is the question? Something about that doesn't sound right. We're talking windshields here of course.

I like it. I like a bit of air. Wouldn't want higher. The 4" caused my shades to rattle.

I am 6'4".

Take a look at http://www.memphisshades.com/. Lexican much thicker than stock.
Previous HD 12" stock windshield vibrated and bothered my eyes. Purchased 9", 10 minutes to mount. Easy to mount.
Price very reasonable.
