Default Street Glide Windshield Upgrade

Searched and found lots of good discussion about the Cee Baileys SSC and the new Klock Werks windshields. One of these will be on my bike in the near future. I'm actually trying to get an idea of how they look from the front of the bike and from the rider's perspective - plenty of photos on the websites with side views. Can anyone help me out and post some pictures?

Thanks!

Don't be too hasty, have you looked at the Clearview windshields ? Great material, perfect fit and you can use Rain X on their shields !!!

+1 for Clearview. Is this the view you want (9.5" recurve in dark grey)?

Exactly one of the views I wanted - seated looking forward. Thanks for the recommendation on the Clearview. I will definitely include it in my research and come back with more questions if they arise.

I have a 6.5" clearview with the recurve,on my 06 SG.I'm six foot tall and if I sit comfortable I look thru the top of the shield,if I sit a little more upright I look over the top...I hope that makes sense and helps you...by the way clearview shields are really well made...

+1 for Clearview.
If you plan on leaving it parked, the others are cool.
But for riding = Clearview!

Anyone else, please. Seems like the performance of all these shields is comparable so how they look on a touring bike will be a big factor for me.

I checked around quite a bit and went with the Cee Baileys 7' in opaque black for my '08 SG. For the price (about 80.00 w/shipping) its much cheaper than the H-D. Soon as it comes in and its installed I'll Post one up for all. Now, anybody got any recommendations on lower air deflectors?

I'm in the same boat,looking for a windshield make and size.Does anyone have a 4" if so how well does it work. What size comes stock on the street glide.I just read an article on F4customs sounds like they make a bomb proof windshield. They go for about $150
