Hi Lucas, welcome Red or Black? I live in Buckeye.
Welcome Lucas. I'm another recovering HD rider. A few of us in AZ have ridden together already. When are you available to ride? Weekends for me.
Hi Lucas,
I am 5" 11" and have the Windbender HP 11" windshield which is adjustable from 11"to 15". It has a curved top ridge. I use it at the 13" setting almost exclusively. I also have the 16" Honda tall shield with which I have to either stretch or crouch to get the edge out of my line of vision. I also have the Windbender 15" ST straight edge shield which will extend to 19".
I can see over the HP set at 13" at all times. Of all the above possible combinations, the Windbender HP set at 13" produces the least amount of buffeting by far. It would be good at 14" and 15" but then I would be looking thru the edge at least some of the time. I can ride with my face shield up most of the time.
I'm also 5'10", normal build and really like my Madstad windshield. I think you're going to start seeing a lot of them on the F6B. Very popular on Road Glides. Check out "Madstad" here on the forum. I was one of the first to try the Madstad and have experimented with some different size combinations. I've settled on the 11" shield with the mid sized base plate. Perfect for my height. Gives great protection and a quiet ride but still lets me look well over the top. Because I'm looking over the top, I can use the dark shield which I find the most attractive. The shield is still light enough to see through easily, much like dark sunglasses. Height and rake angle are adjustable over a wide range to fine tune it to your exact liking. Check out what d-shark has to say on the forum. He's written some really good stuff. Also see www.madstad.com. Other fine shields to check out are F4 and Cee Baileys (available through Wingstuff), both sponsors of the forum.
