    OK I might go bigger

    I'm thinking of getting a larger windshield. I"m 5'10" and need some advice.

    I'm thinking of an 11 inch dark shield. I have an arthritic neck and the stock shortie is ok. The wind hits my chest and my helmet is in "clean" air. I get no helmet shake at all. But hearing the audio is a challenge at highway speeds.

    I really don't care for the real tall shield look I'm afraid that the 11 inch will move the wind that currently hits my torso/shoulders will move up and catch the top of my helmet.

    Any thoughts?

    Any shields for sale? I think dark tint would look best.

    Could you possibly get a measurement from the top of the rubber trim to the top of the windshield please?

    Thanks

    The length is 20/1/2 inches. I am 5' 8". I have had cataract operations and could not stand the wind entering the bottom of a full face helmet with the stock windshield.

    Thank You!

    Yes the stock short one was on mine for about ten minutes for the ride home, I replaced it with the Honda tall one with the vent. I would like one about an inch taller than that.

    Bagger Shield 2 piece works for me, but there will always be times you wish it was higher or lower.
