What size windshield did you buy( 5,7, 9 or 12") and how is it working for you? I'm looking for a basic review.

I found the 9 too short, buffeting, 12" is better. I believe the batwing was designed for Harleys and we sit higher than they do, therefore the design dumps wind in your face with lower shields. At 12" I still look over the shield by 3 inches or so, nice clear view of road and minimal buffeting. Mind you I have an ultimate Bigboy seat and it raised me about an inch.

I just installed the MS Batwing and matching wind deflectors.
I was afraid 12" might have been too tall. Chose the 9" and I like its looks and performance...
Yes the wind blows at about eye level... but there is no issue when wearing a full helmet.

Some folks buy more than one windshield. If I had the chance, I'd have purchased the 12"
in the first place.

i swap back and forth 9" for looks, 12" if i'm actually going to ride. i'm 6' 300 lbs with a hartco seat lifting me 1-2 inches. the wind just catches the top of my forehead. the 9" directs the wind into my nose and is actually louder than no glass at all!
