BMW's standard windshield height is listed as 21.6"

I cannot tell but is their measurement tip to tip or from the center cutaway of the headlight to the top?

I also like that it appears to have a slight lip at the top to help diffuse the air a bit more than a straight edge.

Yes,it is curved.Sorry I just edited the original post.
The BMW R18C standard is actually about 1/8" shy of 16 inches measured from the top of the headlight cutout to the top of the windshield.

This is the first good looking option to replace my stock shield I have seen.

What level of tint, if any, did you choose? I am slightly concerned the fully dark tint, while I think I would prefer the looks, would make it difficult to see at night on the backcountry roads where I am at.

When I got my sidecar I had a choice of clear or dark.The dark was just to much.
I am going with the clear to match the side car.
The light tint is really nice and would have went with that one but it clashes with the sidecar.
Btw,I was gonna get the sidecar shield and windshield tinted with plastic car tint but,the polycarbonate windshield won't hold the plastic sheet tint.
 
I spoke with them just now. They will be doing a 10% discount for the forum. And the option to order the shield should be live later today or Monday. To give others an idea, with the discount a 20inch light tint poly shield would cost $185.

He made clear to me that they do not recommend dark tint for anything other than daytime riding. So that makes it an easy choice in that regard.

How tall are you though? According to their sizing guide you want the top of the shield right at your nose give or take. I am just about 6ft.

Thanks,I used to be 6'3":) so,I am choosing the 20 inch.I had their 16 with the flip and it is much better than the oem,no buffeting.I will take pictures of mine and report back to recommend the best size.The 18 would be a good choice for anyone that wants a bit more and still be able to look over the shield.That being said,I'm not a fan of looking thru the windshield.
LRS will send me the first shield since I have been working with them for months on this project.
Lastly,Billy at LRS will send me the group discount code to post after I get my 20" clear around Wednesday.

Ordered a 20" light tint as my corbin seat makes me sit a bit higher than stock.

The light tint is very good!
Like I said, I have a clear shield on the sidecar so the light tint looks outta place.Here is the 16inch prototype and I have the Corbin dual tour heated seat as well.IMG_0301.webp
