I am 6' and run the OEM Honda optional tall windshield. I look well over the 16 5/8" shield and can hear the radio at over 80 mph. I keep reading about folks running shorter or curved options but if I ever change, I want taller than what I have, not a shorter version. Granted I am a function over style old geezer but I just do not comprehend how these short windshields can possibly provide good protection without excessive wind noise. But, they look really good on the bike.
