The thing with these windshields, is that the lip on the top makes the wind flow up higher over your head like a taller non lip windshield would. I had a 10" straight HD shield, and decided to go with an 8" LRS with lip. Gives me the same or better wind protection, but looks better and there isn't as much windshield to look over, so you get a better view. I'm 6' tall, but really your height is somewhat insignificant, because it depends on the length of your torso vs legs, whether you slouch or sit erect, whether you want to look over or through the windshield, etc
