Sgt. Mike,
Many seem happy with the V-Force windshield. I had one on my '03 VN750. While it certainly offered some protection from wind buffeting, I was not happy with it. It was the narrowness that I didn't care for. I replaced it with a Memphis Shades Fats 17" windshield. I then had a local glass shop reduce the height to just under 15" (about the height of the V-Force). I like the extra width, and the altered height allows me to look just over the top of the shield, which is what I perefer. I am 5'8" tall, so you would probably prefer more height on your shield.
All-in-all, it is a matter of what sems right for the individual rider, and some trial and error are involved in obtaining the right shield and getting it set up in a manner that best suits your needs.
Good luck,
Neal/Ratty
