I'm 6'3" tall and the windshield seems a little short. I keep getting blasted in the face. I have a Memphis shades on it, I want to go to a batwing style but it seems Memphis shades is the only one who makes it for our bikes. Is there another company that makes them? I can't seem to find any. Also, my current shield is connected by 3 bolts on the supports, if I raise it one bolt and only have it connected by 2 on each side with I lose structural integrity of the windshield? Only until I save up the funds for a higher shield. Oh yeah. Its a 2006 Roadliner Midnight.

There is a multitude of different styles of Memphis Shades windshields available.

I like their batwing fairing with the tallest shield option but I'm a bit short at 5'5".
Even that might not suit you good.'

Have you checked with a dealer for OEM options ?

I've got a similar problem with my bike - the windscreen directs the wind into my upper body or face (depending on how fast I'm moving). Normally not a problem, but a highway speeds (remember, I live in Germany, so Autobahn speed), I have had problems in the past with serious rattling of my helmet.

My newest lid is rock solid - I had the bike up at over 145 kmh (about 90 mph) and my new helmet (Shoei Neotec) was perfectly stable.

Maybe it's not the windscreen that needs replacing ...
