LRS is great to work with, and a great product.
Always go with Lexan/Polycarbonate for the best in protection.

WOW! Nice sale on the LRS shields... I ordered one myself

I love my LRS shields -- they really work -- I have had both for single rider and two up, my wife doesn't ride with me much (she rides her own) but she noticed the difference inmediately with the two up design when she was the passenger

I use a 8" Clearview with a re-curve, vented which really helps to equalize the pressure in the cockpit area. The Vent works just like the vent on the newer designed fairings. I like to look over my windshield, I can't stand looking through a windshield covered with bugs. The re-curve puts the flow of air up and over my head.


I still get wacked by bugs every now and then, but I like Clearview products. I used one on my RK also. And as anything else, this is just my preference, I've never used another brand so I can't comment on their windshields. Clearview also has seconds that might have a tiny blemish, which for the most part you would not even notice, but they sell for a reduced price.
