I purchased a Blem from Clearview and it said a small scratch about 2 inches from the right side of it. Save about $70 bucks and when I got it .....I couldnt find the scratch. It was fine. I did finally find the scratch but you had to be looking at it from one certain angle and if you went looking for it you wouldnt see it.

I needed a windshield for a trip and he offered me a blem he could ship immediately, or I could wait a month. I took the blem and I THINK I found a slight scratch in the black painted area at the bottom. The defect was so small I wasn't sure.

I bought a clearview blem 3 weeks ago ($20 off) and just removed it from the box today. The screen was supposed to have 3 very small scratches nearthe middle. I took the screenout of thebox, peeled the protective covering back enough to mount the screen to the fairing, thenpulled off the protective covering. I couldn't find a scratch anywhere.Clearview provided a sample pack of Novus in caseI wanted to buff it out but there is no need. It took longer to remove the protective covering than it did to mount the screen to the fairing.

The screen isa 9.5" recurve in light smoke.It looks verygood onthe bike and more importantly, I can now see over the screen instead of looking through the top edge. I would have no reservations buying anotherblem, especially if you want the screen now and not weeks from now.

It is, but I said 08. I dont know crap about the 07, lol. Plus the 08 is way different then the 07s. I only found out because I attempted to make that rookie mistake and nothing happened.
