I believe it is 18". That's one reason that I bought it was for the height.

Could you tell me how high your shield is above the headlight? Mine is about
15" and I think it could be a littlr taller. Thanks

I've had really good luck with my Plexifairing 2. I rode thru the rain a
few weeks ago. I just ducked behind my windshield and got nearly no rain on my
goggles ( I wear a 1/2 helmet and goggles.). I also have had no problems with
the wind around my helmet. HotrodMamma

That is the challenge when buying and installing a windshield. You never
know exactly how it's going to work for you until you try it. The dynamics
include windshield height, distance of windshield from rider, shape and
aerodynamics of windshield, rider height, helmet style, and so forth.
The other huge issue connected to all these dynamics is head buffeting.
In other words, the wind that swirls around your windshield and literally
knocks your head around. I've used windshields that were so amazing I had
little or no noise and so little air movement that a fly could sit safely on my
speedo console while I went down the road at 75 MPH. I've used other shields
that were so noisy and so rough on the head that I felt like I had been in a
fight with someone after driving only a few miles on the highway. (These kinds
are things are usually felt above 50 or 55 MPH.)
But if noise is the only thing you're dealing with, might I suggest a
good pair of earplugs? I bought these plugs this summer and love them. Good ear
plugs don't only limit noise, they lengthen your ability to go longer distances
by reducing wind fatigue.
Ride safe!

I recently installed a windshield and do like it in general but the
wind noise about helmet height is new. This is obviously because of
the windshield but can anyone explain why this happens. I can't feel
any difference in the wind I can just hear it. Thanks
