I just installed the LRS 9" Stealth shield.
It is real nice for cutting the wind, but I tend to slouch a little when riding, meaning sometimes I look over and sometimes thru the shield. When I look thru, I don't like the curve in the shield distorting the view.
I'm thinking of changing back to my 7" LRS Ultra shield.
Anybody else have similar experience with the curved type shields?
I had the exact same issue. Had a 9" LRS and also tend to slouch so I was looking through the shield. Also like you I didn't care for the slight distortion of looking through the curve on the shield. If I have my back rest on its a non issue as I can't slouch. I went back to the 7" LRS Ultra, If I am two-up on a long ride I'll throw the 9 back on.
