Default Wind Shield

I am thinking of ordering a 8 inch clearview recurve for my 07 Street Glide.I have a 6" straight cut and still get blasted across the face. Want to make sure the look is right. Does anyone have a pic of one on their bike? Also I am 6'1" 215 Is the 8" recurve the best way to go. Any advise out there?

Jeff

I like the Cee Bailey's myself.

Thanks...I looks like that one lays back pretty far. Do you get a lot of vibration??

Here's pics of my 8" Clearview with recurve on my '08 Street Glide.
I still get some turbulence and noise with helmet, much better without helmet. I am 6'1" with a long torso so you might be fine if you are of average build.

I have the HD 9" on my 07 Ultra and at 5'11" can see over it pretty well with no wind blast in head area. I would probably be able to use the 8" as well.

I am also 6'1" 215 and I have the 9.5 clearview recurve and the wind hits me at the top of my
forehead. I can see over the top by 3 or4 inches. I think it looks good. I have a SG.

I think I'm going to have to go for the Clearview. I thought that guy out of Reno (Jim - Fast Air ) was going to make a recurve. What everhappened to that?

Got an 8" recurve and a 10", 11" and 13" Cee Bailey SSC. Any of the Cee Baileys give better protection. Both brands make outstanding windshields.
