Default Clearview Question

I currently have a 8" Clearview Windshield with recurve and I look over the top of the windshield by quite a bit. I'm considering ordering a 9.5" with recurve but I have a question.

If you look through the recurve section of the windshield do you have distortion? Currently my recurve section is so low that I do not look through it.

just around the top lip of course where it's "re-curved".
I have an 8" myself and will go lower however.

I'm 6'3" and have the 9 1/2" on my Ultra and like it alot. I could probably get a little more wind protection if I went up a size but would rather keep the looks of what I have. A little wind is not a bad thing, after all it's a motorcycle !!!!!!!!!
