You can visit www.clearviewshields.com to see all of the available options and associated pricing. You can also test drive the windshield to make sure that it meets your expectations. The shield will have a protective film on it, and as long as this is not removed when you test drive, the shield would be fully returnable for an exchange windshield, or you can receive a refund. You would be responsible for any additional shipping charges. If you are interested, please order online or call me at 800 798 6089. Andy

You've got to be nuts not to at least try this screen out. It is lower on the sides as well as has a re-curve on top. Also is wider than the HD screen. Sounds like a no-brainer to "test ride". Nobody else offers this.

Don't plan on leaving the shield on except for interstate riding anyway, seeing as I think it's ugly as all get out.

Yeah, its such a nice day today that I think when I leave for lunch, I may not come back to work... So I'll get some speed testing done.

While reading stuff here (bad thing to do sometimes...) I saw the National Cycles deflector screens. Like the look a lot. Also am now debating a 1/4 fairing (style) for the first time. And then there's the clearview.

I think I can turn this whole adventure into a $500 waste of money real quick without trying too hard...
