OK, here is the situation....

I did some interstate riding this weekend, about 300 miles at 70 to 90 mph...

Well the stock wind deflector seems to make the wind hit me right in the eyes and forehead.  I usually wear a half helmet and I swear the wind was way worse than I ever had on my crossbones without any windshield.  I thought a touring bike would be better, but this thing made it hard for me to stay focused.  Thought my eyes were going to vibrate out of the sockets!   

So a friend suggested I look into a taller windscreen.  I am 6'1" and rather than experiment by buying different size screens I thought I'd ask for suggestions from people I know have experienced this.  I don't want to ruin the look of the bike with a real tall screen and would like to go with a tinted screen too.  Plus I still have the crappy stock seat on my bike with the damn gap, no bumpers, and my dealer is supposed to be getting me the replacement seat but I haven't heard anything from them yet about when I will get it.  I hope it sets me a little higher, I feel like I am sitting in a hole compared to the crossbones with it's spring seat and tons of leg room.

Thanks for all the great info I always get on here...

I'm very fond of the Clearview with the recurve on my Street Glide.  I'm 5' 10" and use the 6.5"  , there is a 8" that may be better for you.

There is a forum discount.

Freedom shields in the vendor discount section looks very promising.   

I really like the looks and the price of these.  I just need to know what height to order.   

[Mr. Wizard]

http://harleyshields.com/   is what I use, very happy with it and with the price. Three models, I used the classic flip on a couple bikes here. 10" on my Ultra trike, 8" on my SESG.  5' 11". I also put the adjustable fairing shields on which helps the side wind. 1/2 helmet, no buffeting.


This is a front end look at both on the Tequila. Both are dark tint.

I've used the Klockwerks 6.5 on both my FLHX's, and have been happy with it.  With your height, I would recommend their new 8.5" model.

[jacksglide]

Klock Works 9 inch dark best around. I am 6'3, no problem.

I use the Windvest 8", I'm 6'4" and I'm very happy with it.   The wife uses the 6" Windvest and she's happy with it.

[TEQUILA -aka- RED RUM]

I use the Windvest 8", I'm 6'4" and I'm very happy with it.   The wife uses the 6" Windvest and she's happy with it.

I use a clearveiw, 6.5, smoked with recurve. Very happy with it. I'm 6 feet with 32" inseam. The air goes over my head. With the stock sheild it would hit just below the eyes, blow my glaases off.Also still using stock seat.

I heard somewhere these are the Chuck Norris of windshields...

I like my clearview ok enough but is seems to scratch wikit easy.
