congrats on the fairing and no not yet on the windshield. Im 6ft 3 and will go with a flip shield as well if I keep the bike

I put an 8" on the fairing and I am going to get a 10" Aero shield from http://www.fastaire.com/Aero.html . I'm 6'1" with a 31" leg, so most of my height is in the upper body. I get a lot of buffeting with the 8". I know that Tom has a "Areo" shied and really likes it.

Unless Alex has improved the quality of the shields he provides, they look like a junior high kid's shop project. I think nearly everyone replaces it.

do they just use standard ultra classic shields then?

Alex cuts his own,, very basic. but the HD after market will fit and they are 110% better

Water isn't going to hurt them. They won't have paper cones.
