    I'm 6ft /34 inseam on stock seat and found the 13 inch medium tint too distracting vision wise for me but it did give amazing protection. Always seemed to be in my line of vision or too dark for certain conditions. Bought a 11 clear replacement shield and its perfect.

    Height of a Madstad is based on if you want to look over it or not.

    With my 12" Dark tint shield set to it's lowest point I look over it by a few inches and when needed I just slide it up and can gain protection from rain or wind with the 3 inches of adjustment.

    I also have a 15" clear but only use it in the Winter when I want to hide behind a large shield... I can NOT see over the 15". Only look thru that one but I do sit on a Corbin seat that is an inch or so lower than the stock seat.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    My measurement is 10.5 inches all the way down and 12.5 inches all the way up from the top of the gasket.

    Pics

    Does anybody have any side pictures of the 13 inch or 15 inch that I can compare to my current windshield? I have a 19" Slip Streamer that I just look over, but need to see how these compare since the rake is much more drastic. Shoot me a picture of side shot and let me know what position it is in (Low, mid, high) My email is dustyallen04 at gmail.com. Replace at with @...just don't want to get spammed by putting the whole email address in here

    I recently joined this forum. First thing I needed to know is which windscreen most of you were using. After much digging thru threads I decided to go Madstad. I'm 5' 8" so I went with the 11". Just installed it and am very pleased, works way better than I thought. So much better than stock. Thanks forum.

    Madstad for F6B

    Hey everybody. New to the forum. I just traded in my 06 Wing for an 16 F6B. Rode to Arkansas from New Mexico to pick it up. I had been doing some research on this forum and knew that I needed a Madstad, so I ordered a 17" (I am 6'5") and had it waiting for me when I returned home. 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,
    Pikester

    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.
