I have a black 6.5" kW shield and I like it. I've been thinking of going to an 8.5" as I'm 6' tall. I would do $120 if your intrested, that way you could resale it for the same money if it didn't work for ya.

[QUOTE=!_gofasterok;13136294]..dugan What is LRS & your reason you switched over to then?[/QUOTE
LRS is Long Ride Shields. Re: Klock Werks, I couldn't get past the melted shield look, I put Yaffe MBB on and wasn't comfortable how close the KW lines came to the bars. Also I think more air came to my passenger due to the way the KW is shaped. I gave it to my brother and it didn't last long with him either. LRS offers many sizes, so looks and function won. And last I heard, Carlisle Bike Fest is no longer existent.

I'm 5'10" and have a 6.5 KW. I like the shield, and just look over top of it. When cresting hills I have to look through it, which sucks, but the wind protection is much better than stock.

I'm 5'7" and switched from the 7" wind splitter to a Klockwerks. The 6 1/2" was comparable to the wind splitter IMO. I opted for the 8 1/2 dark smoke. I too found my self having to look through it but it worked great. I pulled it off that night and drilled 3 new holes 1" higher, lowering it 1" and remounted it. It still works great and I can see the cars plates in front of me instead of the 3rd or 4th car. Yes I was skeptical about drilling holes in my new windshield but it turned out great.
