    About 3" at the top is curved forward so the top portion is actually verticle to the ground.It's supposed to act like it's an inch taller so I got one 9" to replace my 10" flat shield. Also it's not as rounded at the top so it should act as wider. will let you know how I like it in the next couple of days. I ride so much the waiting for warm days is no big deal for me.[/ATTACH]

    Thanks, works better than advertised.I got a 9", Could'a got it even shorter. Would say a 8" woulda worked as good as my previous 10" straight shield
