Yes it is......that's about what I have. **I** like it but I also know that it is not right for everybody.

IMHO, you need at least 20" above the headlight. You don't really NEED the extra width but it's kind of hard to find a shield that is tall and skinny. As far as I am concerned, a shield that is too small is just a waste of money.

Like I said before, get a yardstick, sit on the bike and have someone else hold the stick in position to get a feel for the height; you could even make a cardboard simulation.
