I tried it on my 2015 street glide and Didn’t like it at all. I’m 5’8. But it all depends how you sit and your torso and all that. I run a 10in cheap one from eBay and it’s a wide version and I love it and I see right Over it. The klock weeks curves in on the sides and i don’t like it as I can feel more air come by me. The wider shield just blocks more air for me

Subscribing to this thread. I wanted to compare the exact two as well. Just wondering, did you mean the 7'' windsplitter? Also, what's your opinion on the windsplitter?

You might be more happy with the next size down (6 1/2”) the 8 1/2” may distort your view too much at your eye level

6 1/2” Klockwerks

5'11" 32" inseam- I run the KW 6.5" I love it. It created a nice little bubble of stable air for me to ride in, but my passengers seem to hate it at anything over 60-70 mph. The wind kicked over me hits them pretty hard.

I tried one for a day on my 2016 FLHTK Limited and passed. Loved the looks, it held the front end down at higher speeds. But the double reflection picture I'd see when looking down through it bothered me. Stuck with stock shield hate to say.
