clearview shields?
Trying to decide between the 8 and the 9 1/2". I really want to see over the shield but I do not want the wife crying about her helment catching wind. My question is does anyone have one and what size did you get. I am about 6 1 and look through the stock 12" shield,.

RE: clearview shields?
If you get the Clearview windshield with the curved top, you'll be adding about 2 more inches of buffer above your head than stock. If you go with the 9.5 inches, you'll be looking above it, not through it.

RE: clearview shields?
I've got both, the 8" and the 9.5". Both are recurve. I'm 6' with long legs and average length torso. Therefore, I ride far back on the seat away from the pocket just behind the windshield. Also have lower fairing deflectors. I had buffeting at the very top of my head with 8. Switched to 9.5 and have nobuffeting, butif I slump too much top of windshield is now in my sight line. I just can't win. I don't wear a helment and ride an '07 streetglide.

RE: clearview shields?
I installed the 8" and wife says she can't tell the difference, I think the airstream is still on its way up as it skims the top of my helmet and goes wayover her helmet,I'm 6'1". I like the airskim on the helmet because I have the Shoie helmet with the air vents that open/close and it catches this air and really feels good inside the helmet. No head buffeting what so ever. Everytime I've taken off the lower fairing deflectors I get a lot of updraft buffeting with any fairing, always leave them on.
