    yea that is an interesting idea. the taller the shield the closer to the face..... I'd have to set up my stuff again to do that.... if I can motivate I'll try it.....

    Thanks for the idea

    Just get the Madstad it comes to my chin so I look totally over the top and the wind protection is great with no noise or turbulence. It is the best windshield I ever had. I have the extra dark which looks great on the bike still giving the low bagger look.

    I forgot to mention my stereo sounds great with the Madstad shield. I had the F4 customs but the Madstad is much better and I love that I look so far over it. It is almost like no windshield!!!

    Mac,
    You might want to consider the back pressure different windshields cause.
    I have the Honda tall shield w/vent on mine.
    Cruising at 70-80 mph, I get substantial pressure on the back of my head and upper back.
    I am considering the Madstad due to this. It seems like this shield might eliminate this issue.

    I think my method works best. Just keep buying them till you get it right..........I'm on #4 or is it #5?? For me the bottom of the nose is about right. I'm 6'1" and I have a Klockwerks Flare. 16".

    When the 2013 was new I remember not having much of a selection. Bought a Baggershield till I heard so much on here about the Madstat. Might have to try the flare now.
