New Guy needs Windshield advise

I'm brand new to this forum, but have read a lot of interesting threads and the advise given appears to be quite helpful. Here is my issue; I ride a 08' ultra classic and have tried about every style/height windshield available, in an effort to acheive riding comfort. I am 5'11' tall and the original 12' oem windshield is perfect for touring. However, for just cruising around on hot days, it does'nt offer much for rider comfort. I've tried several of the curved windshields, but it swirls the wind around so bad I can hardly keep a pair of sunglasses on. Currently I just switch from tall to short depending on what the majority of my riding is going to be for that particular day, but things change as the day goes on (wind, rain, etc). So here is my question; Does any one know of an adjustable windshield for an FLHT, it'd sure be nice to adjust to whatever riding condition comes up? Your imput would be greatly appreciated!

Do a search on adjustable windshield. There is a sponsor I think that sells them. I was looking at them the other day. I am same height as you and about to get a lower shield for summer.

Welcome from Illinois. Do a search in the touring section as that was just posted there a couple of days ago.

I used a slip streamer 8" light smoke and it was perfect ESP for long hauls,I hated stock because it was too tall for me ,I'm 5`10" on a 2005 flhtci, but most of the time I use the 4" for short rides....good luck!!! Mine is for sale
