Default Clearview 12.5"for my batwing, recurve or no?

lol no problem. Was hoping you'd get the joke and not think I was callin' you a retard.

Seriously though, the recurve IMO gives you the benefits of a taller windshield with out the added height (within reason).

I'm using a Long Ride Shields windshield on my current bike, but also had one on my Wide Glide Memphis Shade fairing. The recurve on both is great.

I have the memphis shades 9.5", too low correctly. even with the wind deflectors I'm getting buffeting. Sacrificed the stock shield and cut it at 12.5", much better. I imagine that the extra height from the recurve will help.
