Madstad. It gives you the venting effect of the 2014 bikes, and it's adjustable.

Unfortunately what works for some rarely works for everyone. I personally do not like recurves. For me, they add turbulence. I tried the LRS flat top and the Fastaire. Both great quality shields and loved by many, but they weren't for me. I currently run a Clark's FLH - http://www.customflhtwindshields.net/

I'm 6-4 and have the 11 inch flat top. It works very well.

I just ordered a 8 inch LRS Ultra Elite about 15 minutes ago and got an email saying he was shipping it out today. I currently have a 6.5 KW shield that I like...but looking to get rid of that last little bit of turbelence over 70mph. Headed to Canada next weekend so want a lil more protection

SafetyMan, how good is the 8"....I do have a C&C seat which puts me back an inch and down an inch...so hoping the 8 LRS is great

Take a look at the Klock Werks 14 inch Flare. I have a Road Glide Ultra, and am 6 foot tall. I just put it on, and it really works. No buffeting at freeway speeds, and eliminates the wind turbulence that made it hard for me to hear my front speakers when going fast. I really recommend it, plus it looks so good.
