Default Wind Sheild on SG 2008 model

I want to get a new windshield that offers more protection than the stock 4" on my bike. I have looked at clearview and klockwerks but am wondering if those are good enough. I also don't feel like waiting for 6 weeks from clearview for a new sheild.
&nbsp\\;
Does anyone have any picks of the 9" sheild from Harley that they could post here? My concern is keeping the bike looking good as well. I am just concerned the 9" won't look good. I am 6 feet tall and the current stock sheild doesn't really do anything. I am planning a long trip soon and would like better wind deflection as it's mostly a long highway ride. Any suggestions?

I'm 5' 10" and went with CC Bailey 6.5 in Black. Gives me&nbsp\\;good protection and still feel the wind in my face.&nbsp\\; This height stills loks sporty and offers decent protection. Good product with a good price. Rode in a storm the other day and wasn't that bad with it on.

I MAY have a 8" smoke clearview recurve for sale by the end of the week.

Trying a slightly taller sheild, and if I like the taller one better, Ill be selling the clearview.

on the Bailey's, do those sheilds have a curve to them that directs the wind like the clearview?

I went with a fastaire 8" on my SG. I've had it on for a year with no problems. Can't beat the price over a HD shield too!
