    Standardized f6b Mad Stad??

    I've read comments from 2013 on up for these windshields. Sounds like they finally got their product standardized for the f6b so I am still a little unclear as to what I would be getting and how tall of a shield I would need. I'm 6'3, 34 in inseam and currently have a 19 inch Slip Streamer on mine. I look over it a few inches but would prefer to have it even lower. I still get some buffeting at the top of my helmet and my passenger gets hit too. Website shows 11, 13, 15, and 17 inch. That would put me at a 17 inch, but I've read some posts in the past of people that have 13 inch and my same height that works fine. Any updates?
    RIDER HEIGHT

    SHIELD SIZE


    5'4" to 5'7" (163 - 170 cm) 11" (280 mm)
    5'8" to 5'11" (173 - 180 cm) 13" (330 mm)
    6'0" to 6'2" (183 - 188 cm) 15" (380 mm)
    6'3" and taller (190+ cm) 17" (430 mm)

    I'm 6'1" 34 inseam. I have the 13" light tint. I ride with it all the way down all the time and just look over the top. Only thing I change is the angle for more or less airflow.

    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'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.
