I'm 6'3" and the stock short shield was unbearable. Rode the bike home and ordered a 8.5 klockworks and it is almost perfect for me. Just took a little get used to at first.

 

The HD sold me a 6.5" KW and I'm getting buffeted. Based on putting my hand up in front of the helmet, the 8.5" kW is the right height. I'm 6'2" with 34" inseam. I'm looking at other windshields now from reading the HD Forum.

 

I have the factory 4" on mine since new. 27.5k on the clock. Doesn't bother me at all. Part of why I ride is for the wind on my face. Wear a half face helmet as well. I am 6'3" and I keep the vent closed.

 

The stock windshield (10") on my Limited was fine for short rides of an hour or so. However, last year I rode from PA to WY. On the second day my neck was stiff from scrunching down to avoid the buffet on the top of my helmet. My neck was so stiff I had to stop every 20-30 minutes for relief.

On the third day I stopped at a dealer and got a 12" windshield. What a difference. The rest of the trip I could sit comfortably. It was also better at diverting the bugs. It may not be fashionably short, but I can sit for hours and enjoy the ride.

I'm 6-2, so depending on your size and seat, it may be hard to see over, but it feels so much better to sit upright for the long rides. The other windshields with the reflex bend may do the same job but I didn't want the distortion when looking through the windshield in the rain. If you never ride in the rain, the bent windshields would be a better choice.

 

6' 4" and the 4" buffeted bad, added an 8" and works great and still looks sleek.

 

im 6' 3'' and i loved my KW 6.5 shield. the stock 4'' just slammed turbulent wind in my face.
what size KW are you currently running

 

I have the 8.5 klock werks, I dont get really any wind in my face, other than buffeting. Id rather get wind in my face, just dont want the buffeting. I ordered a 6" LRS last night, we will see how that works.

 

6'3" i was using a fastaire, but it cracked. now i've got a windvest that i think has been perfect.
