Here's another pic of a F6B that I found on the 'net with the same shield I have just ordered. This F6B has a Mustang seat so the shield appears to be higher. I do hope that I have ordered enough shield. I'm 5'10" with 30" inseam, sitting on a Ultimate King seat (which is higher than a Mustang/stock OEM seat)... I know that Madstad recommends 11" windshield for my dimensions... though each time I go with a manufacturer's recommendation for windshield size... it is never enough for me.
13" is a compromise between what I was going to get originally (a 15") and what they have recommended for me (a 11"). Recommendations by others on this forum have me decided for the 13"

I have had only two different windshields - the stock one (sucks) and the Madstad, of which I am completely satisfied. I am 6', longer torso, stock seat, and the 11" shield at its highest setting is perfect 95% of the time. I am starting to think about an Ultimate King seat which raises your sitting position enough that I would go to the 13". I read somewhere on here that the 13" all the way down works better than the 11" all the way up.
Yes, that is a little mystifying to me as well. I know Steve remarked that the shields work better if all of the way down?Originally Posted by moosedog
You would think that more windshield is better... if raised (more air being deflected overhead).

Yes, I hope you don't mind... I shamefully stole the pic from another forum
Is the Madstad shield all of the way down in that picture?

I have an X-Creen on my Klockwerks.. Works great! Second X-Creen, it's a must have IMO... Defeats the buffeting.
