Funny to read this review today. One of my buddies emailed me today with his happy review of his Clearview shield for his 15 Road King. He went with the wide shield too, not sure of height. He added the vent. Said the vent really works. His girl also liked how well the shield worked.
I recommended Clearview from my experience. Just upgraded to a large recurve shield with the 5" added width for my 14 Limited. Very effective.
Clearview is a great small windshield company, made in Colorado using top materials from what I see. Worth a little extra $$$ IMHO. Compare the shape/design and as others have said thickness. The optics are also top notch.

We have been using those shields since 05 many different sizes and shades with or without vents and now our both Limiteds have CV shields it's an outstanding product. Visited there vendor booth in Sturgis last year they lend me a shield for a quick review for the 15 with the vent which IMO the vent was unnecessary.

I had a CV on my RK, and now I have one on my EG. I went with the vented shield and it acts a lot like the vent on the newer bikes. You can also get discounted shields if they have a small defect in them, at least I got one when I bought mine, and if they didn't tell me were it was I never would have even noticed. I will definitely buy from them again when and if ever I need a new one.

Does the vent help at all with the buffeting, or is it more for airflow in warmer weather? I have an 18" recurve from LRS, and it works fine with my half-helmet, but for some reason with my full-face Shoei RF1200 that I use for daily commute it is buffeting way too much, and anything over 70 is unbearable. I've been going back and forth between trying a 14" to hopefully get clean air for my full-face helmet, but that would mean spending money on the brackets too, which makes it a bit expensive...
If I could get the 17" with the vent to work for both full-face and half-face that would be great... I'm 5'11" with 32" inseam.

I believe that it does help with the buffeting. I'm the same height as you and with the stock windshield it would give me a head ache it shook my head so much. That's what I meant when I said that it acts like the vents on the new bike it disrupts the air flow, making for a smoother ride.

I have a feeling I'll be trying on few different shield sizes anyway. Yesterday I took my wife for a longer ride, so I put the stock seat back on. It's probably a good inch higher, and it was brutal on me even in my half-helmet, so I'm trying the 18.5" instead, but I have a feeling I might end up getting two separate shield setups...
