I can't stand looking through a windshield on a bike. I absolutely love my recurve.

I only have one, I bought the tallest windshield harley made for my RKCustom. Im 6'2" and I look through it. The longest trip I have made with it is just over 2000 miles. I loved it, doesnt bother me a bit. Im riding with it to mexico here in august, I dont mind looking through it at all. My favorite part is to look at all the dirt and bugs on it. Normally they would be on me.

I usually look through mine. Doesn't bother me that it catches the bugs instead of my teeth either.

Just installed recurve cuz I didn't like to look through shield at night. Recurve is great, no bugs so far. As for rocks...duck. 2.5" shorter shield give same wind feeling as stock for me.

I like looking through the shield, except in the rain. I just replaced the stock shield with the shorter one. I still look through it, but in the rain, I can sit up straighter and see over it. The only problem is that it curves slightly at the top and I sometimes get some distortion when looking through it.

I may go back to the stock height and suffer in the rain.
