I run the 8.5" Clearview (6"4")and it's just about perfect for me; only thing is I get wind behind my head pushing forward and have to put my ponytail in my shirt!
Anyone contemplating a new Clearview windshield should consider placing their order before the end of the year because Clearview will be raising prices for January 09.
The 6.5 Klock Werks makes great stability at high speeds, like a BIG difference. Buffeting is bad for me at 5'10". My search goes on. I have a 8" Clearview recurve that is a little better than the KW. I just got a 9.5 Clearview recurve yesterday in the mail. I am hoping it will be my final answer! I don't like looking thru a windscreen.
I put the 8 inch on my 09 RG. This shield must have been designed for the WFB only, since she was laying on the tank to help aerodynamics. IMO, it's the WORST windshield possible. Any speed over 35 mph and my nose wiggled. It's not a small nose, but it's not a large nose either. Made an 8 mile trip in 40 degree weather and it took my breath 3 different times. Made some cool pics and then took it off.
Klock Werks does have an 8.5" here is there website "kustombaggers.com"..
For your height, the 8.5" will work great! I have one and love it!
