Default klock works windshield
Does the 8.5" klock works windshield get the job done for someone who is 6'3" on a stock street glide seat?

I bet it would. I like the klockwerks stuff!

Look at the Long Ride Shields too, great company and a good price too!

At over 6' it'll be too short and hit you square in the forehead. If you stick w/KW...go for taller.

Didn't they have a "kruise" line for a bit? It was a handlebar mounted quick shield. Which is what I'm looking for on mine.

Wish it worked. I'm 6'4 and mine doesn't work at all. Love the way it looks but the wind hits me square in my glasses and they just vibrate. I ended up getting a LRS and it gets the job done.

I'm 5'8" and have a 9". I dont like it. The wind hits my glasses. That ugly curve on the sides will give you a head ache , the center line and fog line wiggles and draws your attention to them. Mine was free and I still dont like it. I'm going to order a LRS 10" one of these days. Did I mention they are ugly? THEY ARE UGLY
