Default Windshield help SG

Anybody own one of these? If so do you like it?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Natio...item2c55725eb4

I'm 5'9" (and shrinking as I get older hehe) which height is the best for my size? I was told 7 1/2"

Are the Klock Werks good?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought a 2011 SE Street Glide last weekend...it immediately got a KlockWerks 6" smoked windshield put on it to replaced the stock one. Noticeably less turbulance. I have used them on the last 2 bikes.

I replaced the stock with a 6" Windvest with a re-curve top. Love it. And I am 5' 10".

Good luck on finding a windshield you like. I've tried about 10 windhields.
I've actually tried that one in a 10" and didn't like it at all riding 70 mph.

Klock Werks afford more protection than stock but in no way afford as much protection as a 10 or 12" windscreen. I run a 6" KW in warmer weather for looks and a stock 12" EG windscreen in colder weather for functionality. BTW....... I'm 6'2"

7" Long Ride Ultra here. I'm 5'8". Works great and inexpensive.

I've had an 8" Clearview w/recurve. Worked great but decided I wanted a change; went with a LRS 6" with recurve and it's just about as good as the 8" Clearview, I'm attributing this to a bit more curve in the recurve, but not very much difference I could find. I'm 6'4" and ride a low profile solo seat which I'm sure factors into it
