Has anybody tried a Clearview recurve windshield ? ? ? are they any better than the OEM type for an EGC.

RE: Clearview windshield
When you guys bought your Clearviews, did you go an inch or two shorter than the stock HD windshield you replaced? I ask, as part of their advertising claims that the recurve portion directs the airflow 1 1/2 - 2 inches higher.
My stock shield is a 12 inch shield (is actually 11 inches above the fairing), and I would like to go about 2 inches shorter. I see over it fine, with the exception of in hilly terrain, where my field of view is right at the upper edge.

Hi Everyone,
After a lot of looking around with no success, can some one please tell me where or how to order one of the CV recurve windshields, I think this is something that I would like after all the rave reviews they have been getting.
Thank You,

Dashoe31 go to www.clearviewshields.com and you can order online. Great service. I ordered a 6" (which was in stock) and I should have ordered an 8". Called John up and he said no problem, gave me a RA # and put in the new order. He said they are about 2 weeks out on 8" smoked recurve. He said they are trying to run extras when they run orders. Just my .02

RE: Clearview windshield
In response to the 'How much shorter' question; Follow their guideline. If your are wanting low profile for looks, that is going to be too subjective.
The stock 12" on a 2001 looked like this for my 5'8" wife.
