RE: SG...Clear Windshield???

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.

did you guys test 'em with the laminate still on so you could ship back if the size wasn't right?

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?

No biggie, I'm sure I can sell it when I get my new one in.

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
