I have the 8" smoked. It is not as dark as the dark grey so I can still see through it. I look over it generally but it is nice to be able to see things right in front of the bike.

I have the 9.5 grey tint with the recurve and I am 6'1". You can see perfectlyover the top and get great wind protection.

I'm 5'8" and put the HD 6.5 smoked onmy SG. I see 1 1/2" - 2" over it. The top of an 8" would be in my line of vision.

I'm 6'4" and have the 8" recurve in black, I can see over it fine and the protection is great; I think a 6.5" would have been enough tho, have to try that one next

That windshield looks good. As long as you can see over it comfortably I would rather have the extra 1 1/2". By the way, where did you get it?

I had to go with the 14" smoked recurve because the wife rides on the back - anything shorter and it blows her head around. The thing about the Clearview is you can use Rain X on it - so you can see through it during the rain - which happened to me 2 weeks ago.......no problems on my end
