Default ? about Wind Vest shields

I am looking to put a new shield on my SG. I was wondering if anyone has tried the wind vest shields? Does the curve at the top make much difference over the stock shield? I would like to stick with the 4" version because I can get it in black.

Default Wind vest Shield

I put a 4" shield on my 08 SG. I love it. Two friends of mine bought 4 & 6" versions and both love them. I can tell you the head bobbel issue was severly reduced. The curve at the top makes the wind shield act 2" bigger. For me being short the 4" was fine. It is definitely more money than the clear view but the delivery time is far and away better. Add in the "Gotta have now factor" and it's a wash!!

Overdoo nailed it. And the recurve is more extreme than the Clearview, I own both. Quick shipping, no waiting three weeks.
