Default 2014 Clearview Windshields (Awesome)

Just what I was waiting for. Someone with the proper design.

I ordered in Dark Gray. Will update when it arrives next Tuesday and I can

give a review (weather permitting).

You can read the following blog:

They also state they will be bringing the new improvements to the 1996-2013 models

They look very nice, might have to try the 17" in light smoke or clear for those longer trips and weekend runs!

Don't know about the Clearview -- but I am really happy with Long Ride Shields -- I have them on my 2000 EG and my 09 EG -- the 09 has the one meant for riding 2 up and my wife really noticed the difference

Wow and I just put a 10" LRS on and I think it looks hideously large on the batwing!

Question

For a guy that is 6'5", a taller shield is almost a requirement. I'm going out to take some measurements and then planning a purchase. I don't want to go too high but I also don't want to go too low. Either way, I'm back at the money tree doing it again until it's right.

When LRS sells, for example, a 10" shield, is that the total height of the shield (including what is hidden) or just what is visible?

The 17in that he's talking about is not the height of the windshield.

The 3 sizes are measured from the off switch vertically to the top of the shield.

The 17inch is about a 1/4 inch taller than the original.

That's equal to about 1/4" taller than the original shield that
comes on a limited. LOL....I think some are not understanding
the Clearview measurements.
They measure the height on the 2014 different because of the design.

They are thinking that you are considering a 17" from the top of the fairing
LOL

waiting to hear how the shield works out for you. I like the idea of the lower sloping shape of the shield which is what high end convertibles ( mercedes/lexus) use on their windshields to protect the driver from wind buffeting.
What size are you going to buy?

I ordered the medium (dark grey) .

It should be about the same height as the original shield
that is on the ultra limited.
