    That's a nice view of John's Pass Village from the other side. I used to stay at Bahia Del Mar Island near by. I love the whole area.

    You're 1 " taller than me, I think it will be a perfect height but since you have 2-3 inches of adjustment built into the mounting slots in the ws you can play with it. I can just see over the 15 inch and do get minor buffeting and some noise but nothing like before. It looks really good on the f6, just remember to stuff some rags into the corners where the mirror are so you dont drop the corner mounting bolts Into the faring when loosening them. They give you a foam gasket with no directions, just put it flush at the top of the fairings edge. The owner is really helpful and I enjoyed dealing with him. I think you'll be happy with the product.

    yes I remember changing my stock to a BS screen. Didn't use the rag method and lost a bolt somewhere. After 2 hours of searching I gave up. It's still down there somewhere, ordered extra bolts and when I changed the BS screen to Clearview I did use the rag method!

    Advice

    I have been following this thread, thanks everyone for the input. Just need a little advice...I currently have the clearview small and it is too short for me (will probably put it up for sale). I am 6'1" and I have the stock seat. I am contemplating ordering the large but I am concerned it may be too tall, I want to look over the windshield. Any advise would be appreciated!! Thanks for your time.
