Thanks. I actually looked here and maybe it is just me, but I didn't see the actual dimensions. But I can totally just measure. Thanks again.

So I measured and it appears both the bars and the windshield are ~9 inches. Because this is my first bike, I’m not sure if they need to be higher. Honestly, the windshield feels fine even on the highway. And so to the bars. I’m only 5‘2“. But I was trying to figure out if there’s some kind of equation or approach that I should be using to figure out, if they actually are the right fit for me. Since I don’t have anything to compare it to.

If you're comfortable when you ride then the fit is right for you. Numbers aren't as important then.

Most folks like the windshield around 3” below eye level, maybe more with a recurve.

Some like to look through it. If the top is at eye level it will really annoy you. Keep in mind if you change seats, that will affect your desired windshield height.

Only you will know where you want your hands positioned. There is more to it than height. Wrist angle and bar width is just as important.
