CDN - that is their tinted shield. It's a fairly light tint, but I think it enhances the appearance.

Did anyone get the 'vent" in their windshields?

Clearview has a pending price increase for Jan 1 so if you need to order, do so before the end of the year.

I"m a cheap person, and I'm impatient.....so I waited until there were in-stock blems, and I bought a +1" with grey tint, and a vent...
I got too late for summer time riding, so far I THINK the vent is a waste, but the Clearview is a clear winner.... the stock HD windshield, and the Cee Bailey stock replacement buffetted me so badly, I was seeing double....now i can read street signs when I'm looking for a turn without having to slow down

I just got a blemish one today in the mail. I can't even see the blemish in the garage. Maybe in the sunlight? Anyways, I am 6' and got the 8" recurve. It sure looks tall looking through it compared to the 6" I had on, but I have not ridden it yet. Hope I didn't get to tall. What height are you 6' guys running?

Aaron

Thanks folks for the opinions and info. PJ, how do you keep that black lookin so wet? What a shine! But I'm a little partial to Sparky's Awesome color! But lookin at Sparky's shield I noticed the distortion of the cars tail lamp and body seams. With their name being Clearview, I assumed (my bad) that it was because it was more optically correct. My stock HD shield protects great but I need to see over the shield. With that being said, can I get some opinions from the guys that look over their shield? Any brand shield. Do they custom make shields to any height? Maybe needs to be 3 to 4 inches vertically shorter than my stock HD one.
