Can anyone post a picture of them sitting on the bike with the shield as high as it will go? I'm six foot and want to make sure it will fit my body.

Might be a little tall for the shield to help much. I'm 5'6" - If I sit up tall, my forehead up gets out of the shield protection. I love what it does, but even I wish it was a little taller. Would be nice to see if there is a mod for an extension if people wanted it a little taller - or they could make one taller in the first place and save us all the trouble LOL.

I'm 5'10" and the tour screen is about 3 inches too short. Does absolutely no good unless you duck down behind it. Onlt reason I keep it is that I work midnights and it might help keep some of the bugs off my front end! Other than that, not a good purchase IMHO.

I have to eat crow here guys! Took the tour stream off and rode to work down the highway for 2 days, what a difference that w/s makes as far as blocking the wind from your upper body! Much more enjoyable with the w/s on!!!!!! So, in hindsight I guess it was not a bad purchase at all, I doubt that I will ever remove it again! (kinda wish I would have ordered the dark smoke instead, I might VHT tint it on the inside to darken it up some.

I`m 5`6`and it`s pretty good for me, although if I sit real straight and tall I get some helmet wind. Still a fair bit of wind noise compared to my old windshield on my 900 Vulcan, but that was like a great big flat board that blocked everything, and I had tons of buffeting and knocked me all over at highway speeds.

I am 5'6" and it does a pretty good job with the wind up to about 70mph then I get a little helmet buffetting. The best thing about it down here in Bama is the BAB's protection. (big ass bugs!) I tried riding without it and it's not bad around town but I won't go for any lengthy ride on the highway/interstate without it.:bigthumbsup: Have had no negative comments on the looks of it either. It is GRRRREAT for keeping bugs out of your teeth!:bigthumbsup::bigthumbsup::bigthumbsup:

hi its a good screen to keep the bugs off you but it does get alot of helmet buffet from it im 6.1 and the air stream hits me about middle of the visor and i have bent the bottom brackets to lift the top a bit more i wonder if these bikes would be better if you had lower deflectors on

one other thing have you looked at the rifle screen they say you can adjust it by 4 inchs and can have them made taller if you want

yeah, I forgot to mention the bug thing too. Just got back from a short night ride, and MAN, THE SWARMS OF BUGS. Windshield stopped most of them, but still had some hitting the top part of my visor right at eye level. Nothing below eye level though, and hardly anything hitting my gloves either.

I don't know if I can adjust the windshield to have wind deflected any higher though. Already played around with it a couple of weeks ago.
