That’s a great question. I personally went with the 10” because I didn’t like how high the 12” looked. I would ask your local dealer if there would let you demo a couple sizes before you purchase. I went straight to KW’s to demo one but I live an hour from them.
It's B-U-F-F-E-T-I-N-G, not B-U-F-F-E-R-I-N-G! Buffeting is when your head oscillates and bounces around in the wind and your brain feels like it is repeatedly and violently bouncing off the inside of your skull. Buffering is exactly the opposite, it lessens or moderates the impact of something; when you use buffered aspiring to stop a pounding headache, the aspirin buffers the headache and the buffering in the aspiring moderates the chemical violence that the aspirin is doing to your stomach. A good windscreen buffers the buffeting but a bad windscreen increases buffeting by inducing turbulence. There, now I've turned into my father.
Well actually now I could use your opinion. I swapped out the stock 6" windscreen for the Klock Werks 8" to reduce the windblast and noise on my Low Rider ST. At speeds below 50 it didn't really make any difference in noise which is what I was really trying to improve but now buffeting is present from 50 up. It's not real bad, but it ain't good either, for sure I don't want worse buffeting. The bike wasn't pleasant on the highway to begin with and now it's less nice. I know I can't expect Road Glide wind protection but I want to put some miles on this bike without staying on surface streets. I sit pretty high on the bike, at 5'10" I'm not tall but my inseam is only 2'4", outseam (nuts to noggin) is 3'6". The top of the new screen is about 12" below the top of my head 13", or about with helmet. I can see the road surface less than 18' in front of the bike. What is the smart play because this game is getting old? Get the tallest Klock Werks Flare which is only 2" taller, spend the money on a Clearview, get a taller Harley screen, or revert to the stocker?
@@hizacaine thanks for commenting. My suggestion is to get ahold of a local klock Werks vendor see if they have a demo. You would be surprised how a little taller windscreen will affect the buffeting. I am not familiar enough with clearview but I’m going to check them out. What helmet are you using?
I know exactly when you recorded this one. 😆
I should pick up the windshield, and then I have to get the bike to put it on. 😉
That’s a sure way to get the bike. You see the promo we’re running?
@@TMIWITHTOMMY yes. Yes I did. 😆
Nice video! I am 5ft 10in do you think the 10" would be good for me?

@ cool will do. Thanks for the quick response!

@@TMIWITHTOMMY Sorry, I was impolite
No worries
