Default Clearview Shield Showed up. Now I understand

Ordered a clearview shield for my 2007 RG back in April. Waited longer than I would like but it showed up Friday.

Now I get it. This is really a nice piece. Very easy assembly and construction makes the stock shield look like the joke it is.

Highly recommend this product.

Yes, I got my clearview and I am absolutely amazed at how clear it is. I got the extra large size, and I could swear that I cannot tell that I am looking through a windshield. At night, there is some minimal amount of reflection, but nothing that could bother anyone. This is one of the best items I have put on my bike.

How are they as far as wind spill over? I know that is directly affected by size, but if you went with a slighty shorter ws than you had, is the recurve design effective enough to make up for the ws being shorter?

I am considering purchasing one. 1 of the things I like, is they are rainx friendly, so their website says.

New2,
I had initially intended to get the one with the 'recurve' but when I was ordering, on the phone with the guy, after listening to me he recommended that I not get it. I do not remember precisely, but it had something to do with the fact that I did not want the top edge to be anywhere near my line of vision, including my line of vision when looking slightly downward, and including the fact that I did not want any reflection -at least to the extent possible. It seems to me that he said the recurve might have some reflection -I am not perfectly sure. Anyway, I got the maxi height and width size for my 06 deluxe and I must say that I am overjoyed with it. First of all, now I can ride with my regular eyeglasses as opposed to goggles -which I hate. I have yellow glasses for night riding and dark green for daytime. To have them in goggles would cost a small fortune, plus at my age [51] it means that nearly every year I get new prescriptions. I have this shield now for some weeks. It is clearer than the HD even though it is thicker. On a sunny day you cannot see it. No exaggeration. If it is clean, you cannot see it. At night, you can see that you have a shield, but that is only because you will have slight reflection to inform of the fact. As for the wind, youwill still hear the wind, but you will not feel it.I do not even use a band on my eyeglasses.

Another satisfied customer. I purchased the Clearview 8" Dark Grey with Recurve. Couldn't be more happy with it. They promised it would be delivered within 4-6 weeks from the time I ordered it. It arrived in exactly 4.
