I have 2019 Street Glide Special, I love the look of stock OEM short windshield but it was not functional for my ride height. I did a test with a 7-inch Wave windshield, and it still was not doing the trick. It was time to quit screwing around and go the source of the original flare windshield.
Sizing for the windshield is easy, but sizes are different for all riders based on their seat, their height and how they sit on their bike. Klock Werks offer 4 to11.5-inch windshields for Street Glides and 6 to 15-inch for Road Glides.

I initially picked the dark smoke 10.5 windshield for looks but the Klock Werks team got back to me. They do not recommend dark smoke at the height. They were willing to let me have it but suggested clear or tint. As long as you are a solid rider and know your bike, it would probably be okay, but night time the dark smoke sounds like it will be just a too dark, when needing to glance through at times. I went with their recommendation as they are a solid crew. They go out of their way to help customers.
Removal
2. Raise and remove the windshield.
Installation
1. Place the windshield into position between the inner and outer fairings engaging the slotted holes in the windshield with the threaded bosses on the inner fairing.
2. Tighten three screws (1) to 2.8–3.4 N·m (25–30 in-lbs).
Now ride, and enjoy with the best windshield you will ever experience.
It was night and day difference for me riding with Klock Werks, I also noticed a little more stability and smoother ride at higher speeds. I was also able to listen to my Boom GTS at highway speeds as the bonus as hoped for. I’m 5’11″ and the air stream seemed to slide over me just at the top of my helmet or slightly above it.
