I'm going to try the 9 inch Cee Bailey and see how that does for me. It looks awesome with the dark tint and flows well with the lines of the bike. I'm not ready for an "old man" shield yet either. All my friends are already teasing me about getting a Goldwing but I don't think they realize yet just exactly what I am getting. The F6B is a sleek, sexy, machine....not grandads wing from back in the day. They will soon see........nothing but my taillights! Lol
Giddyap,
Maybe one of the members who might have replaced their nine might let you 'test drive' it. Details to be worked out later.
I recently made a mistake buying one too short( i really AM an old guy). It would be nice to demo one before spending the big bucks. Both UTurn and i have 13- to 14 inchers for sale. But they may look too tall for you. The shorty windshield does look cool, but this old boy needs to protect his hearing with the tallest one hecan barely see over.
Good luck and God bless!

I have the 9" Cee Bailey windshield and I love it. However what I like and what other riders like are more than likely not the same. I came from a Vtx 1800c that didn't have a shield at all so I'm use to the wind in my face.

Avatar is a photograph I took July 4th 2009 of a flag and cannon located on Freeman's Farm at Saratoga National Park in Stillwater, New York. A location of a Revolutionary battle field and an American victory over the British in the Autumn of 1777. Let us give thanks to all Veterans past and present for their sacrifice.
Hornblower: How did the 13" workout for you? If you posted I missed it. Inquiring minds want to know.This is encouraging news since my CB 13" with vent is arriving via UPS later today. With my height of 5'10", I should think this choice will be about right. I'll know soon enough.
Well, I just got back from a 1000-mile trip and I couldn't be happier with the 13" CB with vent (BTW, my height is 5'10"). It seems the choice of a windscreen is highly personal since we are often looking for different things. So, what I like you may not and vice-versa. Frankly, I wasn't all that crazy about the stock bagger-look windscreen and it did little to protect me from the elements and wind noise. OTOH, I did want to keep the profile reasonably low to go along with the overall design of the bike. That's how I came up with the 13" choice. The protection and reduction is wind noise is just what I hoped for. Now, whether or not the vent is part of why it works so well I can't say since I didn't try the 13" non-vented shield. I do believe the vent works by relieving the vortex behind the windscreen and resulting in a more laminar air flow, at least, that's what it feels like. Even though the top of the screen is far below my helmet face shield, I'm getting almost no bugs hitting my face shield. I'm loving that. Anyway, for me, I am completely happy with this choice of windscreens.Hornblower: How did the 13" workout for you? If you posted I missed it. Inquiring minds want to know.
