RE: CLEARVIEW WINDSHIELDS
I'm 6'5" ('08 SG) Just put an 8" w/recurve (black) on and it works so well I'm thinking maybe a 6" would have been good enough! I think the recurve is probably worth an inch or two. The Black keeps the SG look (vivid black bike) and I look over it anyway so it is not a prob. The 4" is without a doubt "form over function" and is ok for 'around town'. Just my .02
Also, I called and spoke to John(?). told them what I was looking for and they had it in stock; it was on the bike in 4 days! Great folks to deal with

Bike HAD the 12" stock HD shield on it. I found myself looking right across the edge of it.
Bought a 9.55 inche clearview in light smoke. I look over it by 2-3 inches. It offers the same, or BETTER wind protection than the stocker did, and the tint is light enough that it isn't an issue, even at night.
They are pricey, but worth it, IMO.

That light smoke tint...is that the same tint as the air deflectors under the batwing? Thinking I'd like one of them too.

I have the 9.5 recurve. It deflects air high enough but
more air comes from the sides. This is because it is not
as wide as the stock shield. It narrows more quickly from
the fairing up. On long trips with extended highway riding
I may put the stock shield on.
90% of the time it is fine. Excellent quality, etc.

RE: CLEARVIEW WINDSHIELDS
8" on mine as well and it is perfect for me. 9.5 I would be looking right into the top of it and it would drive me nuts.
FYI im 5'11" with the sundowner and I tend to slouch a little when I ride. If you call Clearview they will tell you how to get the right fit for you.

RE: CLEARVIEW WINDSHIELDS
The RoadGlide shield from Clearview does not fit well with the HD chrome piece, The shield lays back at an angle and does it job very well, but the Chrome piece does not look right. Doc
