How do you measure Windshield size?
I have a stock 2008 PE Spyder mine came with a sports touring windshield, which according to the book measures 10". I can't find anywhere on the shield that measures 10". When I measure from the bottom of the cut out to the top of the shield I get 10 1/2" so I am guessing this must be approximate.
I am looking to buy another shield for additional protection and was mainly thinking about the Chad from No Magic as my prime thought at this time. Like other manufactures they state a size of the shield, the Chad is listed at 25" but from where? how are, or where are the measurements for the shields, measured from? It has me beat, maybe age is getting to me. The shield I have now has done a great job but I really would like at times a little more protection but want to get it as right as I can the first time. (I have seen some shields that just go on forever and make the Spyder look very ugly so I think the adjustable is a good option).
Any help would be appreciated, where exactly are windshield measured from? I am at a loss here.

A windshield is measured from the top to bottom at its longest point and across at its widest point. The measurements aren't relative to any thing on the motorcycle only the actual size of the shield as it would be lying on the floor.

You need some help . . . .
. . . . men are really bad at measuring things accurately. You need a woman for that.

You are right about adjustability being a good thing.
I also have the RoboBrackets MRB mentioned. Fantastic. I never could get use to the look of the CHAD (personal taste).
