Does CV always send an email after a shield is ordered stating it will be 5-7 business days before the shield will be fabricated and shipped? I have no patience and this kinda ticked me off to receive this message after I made payment.

There’s a lot of shield options out there and had I known about this delay I might have went another direction.

Hopefully it will be well worth the wait... BTW I went with a 17.5” GT Wide dark tint.

 

I had to weight for mine last fall ,
It was well worth the weight ,
A great improvement over factory H-D shield
Replaces a ''19 with a ''17 recurve +''3 wider

 

Sounds like you're either going to learn patience or cancel your order and go another direction.

 

Clearview shields are one of the best shields out there. Worth the wait.

 

I’m sure I’ll forget all about waiting after it’s installed. Until then.... ugh

 

They are worth the wait. I bought mine 10 years ago and still love it.

 

What I found with a Clearview which came to me perfect in every way, was they make a major effort to tell you to wash it gently in warm water with soap when you wash the bike.. I always had a habit of washing mine on the road when it got filthy from bugs and road grime on long trips with some detailer spray stuff and a microfiber cloth. - That was a mistake! - I think their coating maybe slightly more prone to very fine scratching that the stock glass, and after one particularly long overnight ride I put a number of very fine scratches in mine.

Now I use only the polish they tell suggest in directions and web site. Novus 1, and I gently used some Novus 2 (scratch remover) and that got the very surfaces scratches out. But just be careful with Clearviews, I think they scratch a little easier than stock.

 

Patience my friend , I had to wait 3 weeks before I saw mine . I do live in Canada though , so I imagine yours will come sooner . I bought mine over the winter so didn't mind the wait time . They are slightly thicker than the stock , well made and the tint is very nice .. I've ordered 3 of them for past bikes and now the present . Love them , and a great company to deal with .

Note : Don't forget to use the little black spacer's that go between the bolts and the shield . My first setup had to be redone because I didn't look in the pkg until after it was installed !!

I Hate it when I do Stupid Things !!!

 

That is the only problem with CV shields. I have bought every brand out there and am partial to CV. I have put them on countless Road Kings but never tried the GT version. For the money I didn't want to chance it looking too gawdy. Please post a picture of it when you finally do get it and installed. Curious to see.

 

Took me two weeks to get mine. However, I called before I ordered and they told me it would take that long, so no surprises.
