I'm 6'3 and I had an 8.5 before I put my apes on and it was perfect. Some Harley dealers are also dealers for Klock Werks and they have demo programs where you can pick the one you want put it on your bike and try it out. I had tried the 6.5 first but wasn't enough for me.
im 6' with 34" inseam & have the 8.5" KW. love it. when i sit upright (normal) it hits me perfect right between the eyes & nose. most of the time i slouch so much though i look through the flat part right above the fairing.
i would say it would depend on if you want a little wind or no wind.
one more thing to add KW is designed to put i think its 12lbs of down force on the front end at speed (this helps out when doing triple digits LOL)
good luck with your new KW i think you will like them.
I'm 6'-2", ride an '08 FLHX with a stock '11 FLHX seat (sits an inch or so lower than my '08 stock seat). I run a Klockwerks 6.5", and it's perfect for me.
