Hello all newbie here im new to the buell thing, i normally ride a Road Glide and picked up a 06 uly for fun! Im about 6'4 and looking for sugestions on a larger windscreen for my xb12x! thanks in advance!!
 
I'm not much of a cruiser rider, but in my limited experience on them, I appreciate how effective a large windshield can be because you're seated low & laid-back which allows the windscreen to deflect air cleanly up & around you.

On sportbikes, and even standards (which we might characterize your Uly as), I have never been impressed with the performance of any windshield other than something that's very minimal. My experience is that taller windscreens just create a bunch of turbulence right at helmet level, resulting in uncomfortable buffeting & neck strain.

Personally, I'd rather be fully-exposed in clean-air, than half-protected in dirty air. Therefore, my recommendation would be for something small, unlike what you might be used to on your cruiser.
 
I'm 6'2" + , have the Madstad +2".
Love it.
