Yes. I had the 12" on for a few weeks and one long ride. Too much wind and too many bugs for me. Yes, it is well made and looks cool . . . but that is as far as it goes for me. Others may like it but for long rides like I do, it is not enough shield.

Running a Clearview medium now and I love it.

Klockwerks 12"

I have the short 10 inch shield painted to match the bike. It is OK for around town, but you will want to switch it for long rides and trips

I have a Clearview on mine, not sure what size it is as it was on the bike when I bought it. I would not change it for anything shorter. I also have Wild1s 508 bars which I love. I do not have to reach at all. It did take a while to get used to the position but again I wouldn't change it.
