Default Clearview windshield installed

Went for a cold ride today after putting on the new Clearview 22" recurve, light tint. I am tall and it works great; a little helmet buffeting at 70 from behind until I found a sweet spot slightly forward from my normal position- rotate bars up should cure that . I did notice a slight optical distortion at the point that the recurve starts.?? There is no flexing at 40 like the stock shield due to much thicker material. That 's my thoughts and I'm stickin to it.

22", you must be real tall. No doubt you are looking through it, not over it. Different strokes.

Here's an 8", on her Trike.

She didn't like the light rain drops on the 12" standard. Life sometimes gets ya back.

Ride safe.

Apples and Oranges. That would explain it. I didn't even think about the RK when I saw your profile. Narrow minded Electra Glide Road Sofa riders.....

Narrow Minded for sure...
I thought the same thing... after looking at his avatar, I discovered he rides a RK.

My bike comes with a stock 12" but for a RK, 22" makes sense.

I know, I thought the shied for was the EG as well. A 22 inch shield sure would look funny on an EG.
