Dear Klock Werks...

I'm 6'2", and the turbulence was awful. Had I known that, part of my negotiations at time of purchase would have been to change the shield to a 12", which I did later. I never thought to check the dimensions because my last Ultra had a 12" stock shield and no wind turbulence.
Btw, a person's height is not a real factor in determining what height the shield needs to be. I'm 6' 2", but only have a 32 inch pant seam. Most of my height is from waist up. If a same height person has a 34 inch inseam, he sits 2 inches farther DOWN in the saddle, and wind may never hit the rider at all.

Its a trial and error process, just like sound, wind is subjective. Some want none, others need a little. Down here in SW Fl its a trade off. You need the air to keep cool, but you need to block those bugs that are as big as birds also. I have a 8.5 Klock Werks smoked that is on my Ultra, I look over it and get no buffeting. 5'10 with a 30 inch inseam.
If you are the type that looks through the windscreen, you cannot run one with a lip or curve on the top. The distortion will be terrible.
As said, Helmets do make a difference. The fit, and design of the helmet can contribute to the turbulence you feel.
