I ride all year here in New England so I have two shields....
I don't care for looking through a shield until the temps get below 40 deg. then the tall clear shield comes out. Also getting dark earlier in winter makes the dark shield tough to see through at night when slid up for wind protection. The simple 4 screws make it easy to change from the 11" to 15".

] Summer shield..........
1) Dark Grey
2) 11"
3) 60
4) up 2 inches
5) look over
6) 5' 11", 34 inseam


Winter shield..........
1) Clear
2) 15"
3) varies
4) mid height
5) look through
6) 5' 11", 34 inseam

[marmilia]

1) Medium Grey
2) 13"
3) Usually All the way back to 3/4" forward.
4) Usually All the way down when riding solo, I raise it up when wife is with me or when raining.
5) look over
6) 6'1", 32" inseam. long torso.

1. Medium Gray
2. 15"
3. Usually all the way back.
4. About 1" - 2" up during cool temps. When gets warm, all the way down.
5. look over, barely
6. 6' 4", stock seat

[ReserveBum]

light smoke
13"
Usually straight up most of the way
Adjusted up all the way
Look over
5'10" - stock seat

[moosedog]

1. clear
2. 11"
3. Almost straight up most of the time - tilted back for hotter days
4. All the way up most of the time - lowered for hotter days (that's the beauty of the windshield right?)
5. Look over easily
6. 5'11" with long torso and 32" inseam stock seat

6’0”, 30” inseam

[royr]

I am 6’ 0” with a 30” pants inseam. I have always considered myself to have a little longer than average torso length. I am quite surprised to see a number of people with a greater inseam to height ratio than me to consider themselves to a have a “long torso”?

[zeus661]

Not sure on what size, 11", 13", 15". Is that the actually height of the upper part of the shield? Or is it how high it goes beyond the rubber in the front fairing. My current shield is 14.5 inches above the rubber and I can see over it. So what size would I need. Original seat, 6'1", 34" inseam.

Measurement is just the size of the top shield. At 6' 1" you could really do any of them but for adjustability I would go 11 or 13. That way you can adjust up or down and still see over it.

[lgjhn]

11"
Deep dark gray
All the way down and parallel to the inside shield.
5'9", I see over the top and it works for me!!!

[stevenolts]

I have the 11" extra dark
I use it as it came out of the box / all the way down / all the way back no tilt
I am 5' 8"
29" inseam

By the way this is the greatest windshield
no other windshield looks this good
Is only to my chin / I can see all the way over it
And provides great protection from the wind and the rain (slight breeze not blast)

I thought maybe in the winter I would put my F4 Customs 16" with vent on (another good windshield) but never needed it
I ride all winter unless it is below 30 or snow and ice on the road

[Old Ryder]

Light gray but tinted with "Night Shades"
Started with 13 and switched it out with an 11"
Angle and height changes every ride depending on the weather
I like to look over it all the time
I am 6'1" with a 32 inseam and use an Ultimate King Rider seat

[lloydmoore1]

Old Ryder what is the "Night Shades" ?

I am thinking of ordering the 11" dark now because one can never have enough shields. my 13" is all the way down and I can just look over the top but want to be able to look over with ease also it's a light tint and the dark really looks good on the blue.

It is a tint that you spray on the inside of the windshield to make it as light or as dark as you want depending on as many coats as you want to put on. Ask for it at Advance Auto. It is in the touch up paint section for about $15.

how is to clean? I have a short clearview shield that I would like to darken.

[Old Ryder]

It cleans like normal since you spray it from the backside. Comes off easy with mineral spirits if you don't like the finish. Spray it on the back since it is not very durable and will scratch.

[Old Ryder]

Btw, I have used it for a number of things. I painted my buddy's Versys pumpkin orange and then sprayed it in NS for a smokey type effect. Also used for tinting clear lenses. If I had a slow black F6B I would have to try a light tint.

Thanks I will be checking this out for sure. I have a 13" light tint that they sent me first with the wrong holes so I drilled some. They sent me a new one and the old one sits on the shelf collecting dust...perfect to try this on.
love this forum
thanks Old Ryder for the great info
