I took the Sled to work this morning. When I left the Manetarium I had the windshield at the lowest setting. That would probably be close to the 14” inch range.

I could already tell the wind would hit me smack in my face so when I stopped for gas I repositioned the windshield to the maximum height possible. This would be high side specification of 18”.

Even with the windshield all the way up I am able to see over the top lip easily. I’d say it is about an inch below my eye level at an upright position.

This configuration provides the most wind deflection possible. I’m digging the ride, I won’t say it’s like night and day difference between a stock shield but I can tell the wind envelope has gotten higher. I’d say the very top of my helmet is getting the air steam now. Whereas before it centered on my forehead. This created a lot of turbulence and buffeting on my old setup.

Klock Werks has a taller windshield available for the GL1800. The 16-20″ size is quite a bit taller and will provide the most wind protection but that is a bit too much for me. The tallest range may even have been above my eye level which is not an option for my riding preference.
