I've gone from the stock windshield (a joke on the FLHX) to a 6 1/2 inch Clearview with recurve to an 8 inch Clearview with recurve. The 8 inch is just about perfect for me. However, my wife was riding with me the other day and we were doing 70ish on the highway and when we stopped, she was complaining about how windy it was on her head. My wife doesn't come with me that often so I want to do everything I can to keep her happy. I'm not going to get any taller (to block more wind) and she's not getting any shorter so we're stuck with her head being slightly above mine when we ride due to the seat design.
Has anyone gone even taller with a Clearview style windshield and gotten most of the buffeting to clear the passenger's head? How tall did you have to go? The next size up is 9 1/2 inches but I doubt if another inch and a half will improve things that dramatically. Although I did notice a difference stepping up from 6 1/2 to 8 so maybe it's worth a try.
I may end up with a whole collection of windshields to swap out depending on what type of ride I'm doing!
