5' 9", 7" is perfect for me. Your local HD dealership should have loaner/demo shield for you to try. Takes less than a minute to swap it out.

5'10" with a 32" inseam. Klock 6.5 on my last 3 Street Glides. I do wear ear plugs. Early on I tried the H-D 7" Windsplitter or whatever it was called and it didn't seem to work for me as well as the Klock.

I'm 5'10" and a 7" works perfectly. As an FYI the 6.5" KW won't work with windshield pouches.

5’11” with the 7” wind still hit my head, with an 8” it was perfect for me.

I've been riding with a 7" since 2012 and today i installed my original 10" and going to use it for awhile. The 7" still allowed air to hit me and i found myself leaning down and forward to get out of the wind. It was fine in the warmer months. I'm 5' 10".
