That's almost a weekly occurrence. Absolutely love their shields.
At the price they listed I couldn't resist. I went ahead and ordered a 12" model. The way they measure it will be 1/2" shorter than what I have now but hopefully with the superior airflow it won't matter.

Yep, I think I paid $40 for my 7" Ultra Elite. Short shield works great for my slower Island rides.

This is my KlockWorks 8.5. I think its ugly compaired to my Harley 7" but it works for me. Can't look through it because it distorts, but I can keep my hat on at 80mph and its true, with no wind in your ears, your tunes do sound better. I can hear the stock radio all the way to 100 at about 3 clicks from full. And if the song is recorded well, less than that.

I had a KW, was't much impressed with their "clean air".
Proper fitament is paramount for any shield.
They should fit between the lower chin and upper mouth.

Geez Hoyt a 12" LRS is tall enough for a 7 footer. At 6'2 you shoulda tried an 8". The way they're designed you can go much lower and have a good line of sight over the shield and still have wind protection.

Default Three weeks and still no LRS

Based on reviews I ordered A LRS. Based on this experience of just trying to get it, never again.
When I need another, I will go back to Clearview etc.
ordered it on 4-1 Charged $20 for shipping and I still do not have it.
Posted it as shipped on 4-2 , then changed how long it would take befor it shipped a couple times, and I still do not have it. I understand it takes time and made as ordered etc etc. I can accept all of those things. But basic rule of customer service, under promise and over deliver; never over promise and under deliver.
Maybe I will try the klockwerks.
Going to thunderbeach in Panama City beach in about ten days from now. I will hopefully find what I am looking for and I will send the LRS back when I receive it. Which will add more salt to the wound as it will cost me money to send it back.

I have ordered several products from them and the same problem on a couple of occasions. Although the manufacturing/shipping was delayed, the product is solid. I suggest that when you do get it, give it a try. Hell you may even like it.
