Default Clearview windshields

Looking for some input with someone familiar with the Clearview windshields. Has anyone ordered the optional vent and if so, how do you like it. Also the optional recurve at the top? I am 6'1' and wonder how tall to order the windshield with the recurve. The stock winshield on my 07 RKC is a bit short for my taste.Input on the tint welcome too....Thanx

I just put a new Clearview on my 004 road king last week.
I am 6'1" Mine is 18.5" and it is the wide one with the recurve.
Have not had a chance to ride much with it, but so far it is excellent!
I did not get the tint.

I put a clearveiw on my roadglide with the vent Love the windsheild but probably wouldnt go with the vent again it dont make much of a difference if its closed or open, I also order the smoked grey tint and I recomend that.

It's gotta be better than the Harley windshield. Harley shield is too easy to scratch. I had a memphis ws on the previous bike I had and had no problems in removing bugs without placing a wet towel on the shield and waiting 20 minutes before I cleaned off the bugs. If I place the towel on the shield they will come off with no problem but it sure will scratch easy if you don't.
