Default Windshields for '08 StreetGlide

Just wondering about the KW windshield. I want to put a KW on my '08 StreetGlide. I put a call into Harley Davidson, they have a 6.5" KW in stock. Just wondering what opinion anyone has about this windshield. I am 6'0 feet tall and my wife rides with me, she is 5'7". Want to keep the wind off the both of us. Does anyone know if KW makes a 8" windshield? Or should I go with the 6.5"? Will I be happy with the KW windshield?
Thanks,
Charlie

I don't have any experience with the KW windshield. I do have some experience with Clearview. The Clearview 6.5 Recurve is stylish, low like the SG windshield, and provides a nice quiet cockpit. Just some info on a product you may or may not have considered.

m.a.c.

Cee Baily's wind shields . They also have the shield that controls air flow that those other guys copied. The super step.

I had it on my 06 and they are putting it on my 09 now. I love it. 6.5 is all KW makes for the Batwing
