This is my 2007 with a Clearview Recurve. My eyes are even with the top of the shield and in the dead air space, thats why they call it a Clearview. I like mine, others like other types, its all about personal preference .
I just put the Freedom "touring" shield on my '17 Ultra. It's a little wider than standard, and I got the light grey tint which is pretty light. I like the idea of it being 30% thicker than stock, no distortion, and it should reduce buffeting. Maybe I can get out tomorrow and give it a try.
My first purchase was the Klock Werks 6.5". At 5-10, the stocker did nothing for me on the SGS. Not only did it improve the ride quality, it greatly enhanced listening to my tunes. I have to rate my purchase probably tied with LED lighting as a must have.
