WINDSHIELD HEIGHT: How to choose your height/width
1. If you have a stock , non-adjustable windshield, go to step #2. If your stock shield is mechanically adjustable, lower it to the bottom or lowest position. If your windshield is electrically adjustable (RT, LT, FJR, Connie 14) extend it about a quarter (25%) of the way up.
2. Get a measuring tape or yardstick.
3. Move your bike to a level spot.
4. Tape the yardstick to the center of the windshield with masking tape, from the bottom of the shield, and with the yardstick pointing straight up.
5. Sit on your bike. What you trying to do is draw an imaginary line, parallel with the ground, from approximately your chin position while riding, to the yardstick. I.E, if an imaginary parallel line from your chin to the yardstick, measures about three inches above the top of your current shield, you would be best suited by a +3” taller shield. Width is dependant on your body type, more robust riders will want more width for better torso protection, while a smaller stature rider may use a stock width that is perfectly acceptable.
