I'm torn between buying a new or used windshield for my base, but since i'm modding anyway, i thought i'd just get an aftermarket ones, whether it's used or new.

My dilemma is that i don't know which is the best buck for the quality. Based on your experience, can you help me decide?

So far, i'm leaning towards the madstad windshield but there's different options for 9-13 inch.

Yes.

Stock F4 windshield then +5 = an increased height of 5" on top of stock.

I can not say for certain the stock F4 is the same height as the stock Polaris supplied windshields.

On the 2015 stock windshield the height of the shield was about
an in above the center brace. the 3+ in 3 in taller and 5+ in taller.
F4 did make a special custom for a friend of mine that was a 9+...

These number probably not exact but close. Having been on a Honda Gold Wing for 20+ years and having a Tulsa shield (taller-wider-tinted) the F4 5+ tinted was what works great for me.

I like looking thru.....nice to have options.

Sounds like the F4 will be my choice is well with the Wings.

I know many have spoke about windshield height compared with drivers height which sounds like a +3 or +5 for a person 5'-10" but what about the best height of the windshield for the different tops?

I'm 5'-10" and look thru the F4 tinted 5+ --- mine was a gen 1 shield--one of the first sent out --- I have never seen the distortion in mine that has been talked about. I do have the original OEM seats...
