    +1 on needing to hear the radio

    Plus 1 on the noisy shield!

    I couldn't wait to replace my shield after buying one of the fast red ones. A rep at Cee Bailey thought 14" would be high enuf, but for me not high enough. I ate the price of the fourteen( it's for sale-it has very few hours on it) and got the 17". I'm 5' 10" and like a quieter ride; the seventeen allows me to hear the radio thru earbuds-less deaf dudes will probably be able to hear the radio fine without earbuds. I can see over the shield even in the rain, yet it provides a nice, quiet flow of air over it. Good luck on getting one that's just right. I don't know where you have been in your moto walk, but if you don't need lots of cornering clearance and don't want a dragster, this is a sweet ride!

    Best wishes and God bless,

Also, if you don't mind, how tall are you? I'm 5'8" and the stock shield puts the wind in my face creating a noisy ride (i.e. can't hear the radio!) I'm trying to figure out what the best shield height would be for me.

    I've been riding for 25 years and last week I just bought my first Wing (2014 F6B) so I have lots of questions about it... Thanks!
    I have the 11" baggershield. To Answer your questions. 1. No, I am 5'8" and it hits me in the forehead. Makes the helmet extremely noisy. I can hear the radio when I have it running through my headset. It is hard to hear the radio at highway speeds. I am thinking I need another 4 to 5 inches on windshield height. I am now currently looking for a new windshield
