Default Which klockwerks windshield?
Looking to buy a klockwerks bubble shield just not sure on the height I need? Im 5' 10" and i want the air going over me but I dont want to have to look through the windshield. I have a shorty smoked 4" now on my street glide and my glasses and helmet shake bad at speed. Im thinking the 6.5 is the way to go but need some input before i buy.

5'10"..6.5 klockwerks flare on my SGS and it works great I got the black one since I can see over it and don't have to look through it I feel like the distortion would bother me imho...after I put it one I still had some glasses vibration at around 70 mph but narrowed that down to the cheap sunglasses I was wearing bought some curve riding glasses and haven't looked back

6.5 here...I'm 5'11

Glasses do make a difference, although I have the fork mount deflectors that make a world of difference too.

I have the 8.5". I'm 6'1" and have quite a bit of room to look over and not through the windshield.

I'm 6'0 and the 6.5 works great on the SG. I can see plenty over it.... And the windshield does exactly what it's supposed to do.

I'm 5'8" and have the 6.5" shield, the wind hits me directly in the forehead.
What part of NC are you in, if your close enough to Fayetteville I'll let you try mine out?

I'm 5'11" and I have the 6.5" smoked. You will still get a lot of wind buffering, or at least I do. I think the factory didn't cause as much wind buffering as the klockworks. The distortion at the curve doesn't bother me.

I'm about 6' and use the 6.5" and still get lots of buffeting. Lowers will likely help more than the windshield.
