8" Solid Black Windshield

Does anyone have an 8" solid black windshield on their bike? I like the look of the Dark Sunglass Gray, but wondering what an 8" Solid Black shield might look like. It will be going on a Vivid Black SG.

Thanks!

RE: 8" Solid Black Windshield

If I were going with a solid black one it would be shorter than 8"

I have a sunglass gray 6" i am 6'-0" it is right for me .I think 8" would be to dark coming up a incline

Mines a 6" and it's just right, I had an 8" dark smoke and it judging from using it, I think and 8" solid black would affect your sight line.

I have an 8" on my bike and I find it just right. Have a 6" also and found it caused a lot of buffetingaround my head area.
Iguess it all depends on how tall you ride in the saddle.

RE: 8" Solid Black Windshield

Now when you say solid do you mean dark & TRANSPARENT ? If so mine is 8" made by Drag Specialties. Check my pics in my profile's album....I think there are some with the 8" and the billet trim. I had the 6" but didn't like where the wind was hitting me.

RE: 8" Solid Black Windshield

I have the smoked 8"but would NOT have an 8" blacked out shield as it would be impossible to see things on an incline or anything right in front of the bike.

RE: 8" Solid Black Windshield

I have a black Clearview 8" recurve (6'5") no buffeting or prob seeing over it, think I could have gotten by with a 6"; I'd guess the recurve is probably equal to about 2" or so
