Well after taking home my new bike today my helmet is still rattling with all the wind buffeting. I'd love me to get an LRS shield based on all the discussions but I'm afraid their smallest (7") will be to tall for me. I'm 5'7" on a good day. Thoughts or recommendations? Thanks in advance.
LRS Shield Sizing for 5'7"
- Thread starter Erilflynn
- Start date
I don't have a 7" LRS windscreen, but I do have a 7" HD Windsplitter and I am 5'7" tall. I can clearly see over the windscreen and it isn't anywhere near being too tall for me.
I like it a lot and have no plans to change it out. I've ridden 1143 miles (two up) round trip in a weekend with it a few months ago. I haven't experienced any buffeting with it.
Demoed the 7" Wind Splitter also and while my line of sight was fine I was still get the buffeting. At least I know the 7" will fit me well no matter what brand. I also tried the 10" but it was directly in my sight.
I'm 5'10", I cut a piece of cardboard & taped it to my windshield then sat on the bike in the shop to see how far I could see in front of my bike looking over the windshield, I think that I could have got an 8" & it would have worked good too.
I also use this wind deflector
