Anyone ride with a HD Windspiltter?
Thinking about trying a HD windsplitter windshield. Looking for feedback to see how they perform. I'm thinking about the 11" version, will I be able to see over it. I'm 5'11"?

Had Klock Werks 6.5 on streetglide - loved it.
Got 11 inch Windsplitter on the RoadGlide and I like it just as much.
I am shorter at 5'6".
I was able to see over both just fine.
Different bikes, but you should be fine.

I had the dark smoked 7" version on my 03 FLHTI,It looked good to, sold it after a couple of rides. I guess I am just spoiled on the factory 12" full windshield. All the wind was hard on the ears, not to mention bugs in the face. If you are cool with all that, then you will love it. Just wasn't for me.

For reference purposes, I am 6'1".
I HAD the older 4" HD Wind Splitter. Sold it immediately. Too short, which translates into too much turbulence.
I HAVE an 8" Fast Aire "Aero" shield (they come in 6-7-8-9-10 inch sizes) with the modern "flip" design. Much better.
I could probably still see over a 9" or 10" Aero shield, but at that height, the feng shui of the SG has been compromised...

I got the 7 on my bike and I like it a lot. I ride a bit slouched and I can still see over it and it's about as tall as I would want to go. I like to see over my windscreens... way over them.
