Default windshield help and input

I ride a 2016 Street Glide Special and I currently have a klock werks 8.5" tinted windshield. I like the performance of it for planting the front end down and helping with the stabilization and dancing around. I feel the wind on my helmet and my sunglasses do move at times. My wife says that she gets all the wind from the sides and she doesn't like it. I tested a 10 " Harley Wind splitter and it helped with the passenger comfort but not the stability like the KW. I can see over the HD Windsplitter fine, Im wondering if anyone has the 11.5" KW and what there thoughts are for both the rider and passenger.
Any info is appreciated


thanks
Danny

Everyone has a windshield they love, but one that really gets overlooked is the Cee Bailey with a re-curve. I run a 10" light smoke and I look over the top and get no buffering, my wife likes it too with enough wind to be comfortable but not rattled around.

Cee Bailey is most notable for aircraft windscreens made in Burbank California. The quality is second to none. They have absolutely NO distortion or aberration around the edges found on many windscreens (which drives me nuts).

High recommended...

Cee Bailey's is a good product also, I live in Sparks Nevada a few miles from LRS so I
give them my money. Get the one that works for you, that is all I have to say about that.

I have a 10" Windvest and it is perfect for me, I'm 5'11'' and see over it with no buffeting, and the passenger loves it as well.
10" dark smoke and has a recurve, even dark I see the road at night.

I use a Freedom Shields 8". At 5'10", I see over the top easily and no buffeting. It's a thicker shield so it doesn't flex, and no distortion. I don't know if it pushes the front end down or not, but at 115 the bike feels great.
