Stock is 26". Whether it's factory or slipstream, it's the same size. The only difference between the 86 factory and a slipstream is the factory is straight up and the slipstream is angled back.

As an added to Draxxis posting;
Cee Bailey and I believe Slipstreamer as well measure 0.192" in thickness whereas OEM measures 0.139" in thickness. Almost 1/16' thicker.
So what does this matter? Well when one replaces a stock OEM windscreen with an aftermarket windscreen, the part # 92027-194 collars as shown on the "Cowling" parts illustration may not be long enough to bind/shoulder against the metal cowling stay, part # 39137-1057, before starting to crack the plexiglas.
Be careful with those aftermarket windscreen screws and collars, the collars may need a washer under them. Check before torquing the screws down.
