Just switched from an 8" to 6" windshield and I don't like it, too much wind. I'm 6ft. Will be going back to the 8". It is a regular windshield.

I'm 5" 9 and went with the 6.5" , not bad but could probably have been okay with the 8.5". I'd say go with 8/5"

I have the 8.5" KW and I'm 6' with stock street glide seat. It's the best windshield I've used as far as buffeting goes. I've had it a little over a month and during the day it's fine but at night I'm finding it just a tad to tall. I see over it but it's at that height where I find it annoying me. I had the 7" LRS and think I'm going back to it just because the extra 1.5" lower lets me see more road at night. I plan on ordering either the Sundowner or another larger seat for longer trips and will use the 8.5" KW with the taller seat.

I'am 5 9 and have 8.5". I wouldn't recommend 6.5" based on your height.

As others have stated, I would go with the 8.5. I'm 6' with the 8.5 and sometimes when it's really windy it feels like it isn't even there. I couldn't even imagine how the 6.5 would be. The 6.5 does look much better on the bike. I can easily see over the windshield, by a lot, so you should have no problems even slouching.

I am 6ft. Taller upper body. I went with the 8.5 and could use another couple inches even. A guy I ride with is a bit taller and he went with 8.5 as well
Great windshield btw

I have a 8.5 and I see over it clearly.I am 6 feet and wouldnt want it any shorter. I notice a slight change in buffeting when I change from street glide seat to the stock seat that makes me sit a little taller.
