    Good to know

    That's good to know. I'm 6'3 and debating on 15 vs 13

I installed it today and realized I am going to return it and get the 15". I can see over it, but I have to sit straight up and lean forward, not the position I normally ride in. I have one on my NC700DCT and it made a huge difference. I knew as soon as I got on the highway that the stock shield on the F6B is pretty much useless. I'm glad I had earplugs for the ride home. Let the farkling begin!

    Ride safe,

    I'm 6'1" and use the 13 always in the lowest setting.

    Pulled the trigger and just placed my order for a 13" dark tint.

    I just bought a used madstad that is in perfect shape, but it has an 11" on it. I am 6"3 so I may have to go up to at least a 13 maybe even a 15. Things to find out after the purchase...lol. I will have to try it out first to see. I currently have the baggershield and I like it but the passengers are still getting a lot of buffeting. So is the general thought that I would need a 13 or 15? I have stock seat and have no plans to change as of now.

    Received and installed the Madstad today. 13" med tint. Looks great, wished I had done this before. Now I have 4 windshields in the garage. Probably like many others on the forum. I changed the seat this summer, and needed to change the shield. Now, I have an adjustable one. Yaa!

    I also installed a 13" dark tint Madstad last night. Now waiting for the rain to stop so I can try it out. I took off a Medium ClearView with recurve which wasn't bad but I did get some buffering as the air hit me in the forehead. Right at 6' tall I look over the Madstad just about the same as the ClearView. Have to wait for a test run to make any adjustments.

    same dilema

    I'm 6'3" as well and still debating between the 13 and 15. It's hard to compare their height to other windshield since they rack forward so much more than the factory ones.

    I'm only 5'10" and the 11" works perfect. Try riding with the 11" in a few different positions before you purchase anything taller.

    I'm 6'3" also. I first got a 15" and it was too tall in the lowest position. I then ordered a 13" and found this to be perfect for the majority of my riding. I use the 15" for my late November, early March cold weather rides.
