Can a motorcycle windshield be TOO TALL?

A few years ago, I installed the Memphis Shades Spoiler 8.5″ recurve windshield [boy, that’s a mouthful!] on my 2019 Harley Street Glide Special – replacing the 6.5″ model of the same shield. Now, with better testing ability and my finely-honed analytical skills, it’s time to take a look back on it. Is it too tall? Is the shorter one better? Let’s find out! What about helmet buffeting, wind on the shoulders, wind hitting the helmet? We’re going to take a look at all that!
