Save your money and buy the 10" KW or a flip type.

The WindSplitter perfroms just like the KW 6".

hey, I'm just your average guy that's been riding for 47years. Please don't take this the wrong way, but why would think that replacing one 6" W/S with another 6" W/S would make any difference? If you want wind protection get the stock FLHT W/S. I'm sure someone can chime in on one that works for them. I can tell you what works on my 11 FLTRX & it's a WV 14" Light Grey. but that don't help you. Looks & function when it comes to W/S maybe 2 different things. can any of you SG guys help.

I use the stock Ultra Shield on long rides !!
But I would like something more sporty and has SOME protection just running around!!!!



The klockswerks is 6 inch the Harley windsplitter is 7 inches it may be a little better!!
