I've had the Clearview and Windvest, the Windvest out preformed the Clearview. Able to use a 10" Windvest instead of the 12" Clearview. Windvest has a more radical recurve. A bit more money but you get what you pay for. And I'm not dissing Clearview, good company with a good product, I just like the Windvest more.
So you think I should go with the Bailey instead of the Clearview?
I'm not saying that.
MANY forum members use & love their Clearview.
I'm going through the..."let's try this one" stages.
I'll find the right one, sooner or later.
Put a tinted 8" Clearview on today .The recurve model for my Ultra.It does all I want.Much less turbulence,no screen in eyeline.Radio is much clearer.Solid company that has great customer concern.I would give it a 10.
Dunno what all the BS about the Klock Werks shields are but I have three of them on my bikes and love them. I have 2 of the 6.5's on the Batwing bikes, and a 12" on the RG. Awesome shields and they look super cool too. So smooth on my Streetglide that I can light a smoke at 75mph and it's windy here along the Rockies too.
I love my KW shield. It does not kick the wind over my head like the 5 foot girl in the wind tunnel pics. The wind is not choppy like the stocker though. I can hear my radio till about 80 mph no problem.
Does the Clearview or Cee Bailey work with apes? Mine are 10 inch apes and they go straight up, I can't use the stock windshield on my Road Glide because when I lock out the forks the handlebars knock the windshield out of position. I have an eight inch shield on now and they work with that, but I don't know if a windshield that is pulled back will smack the bars.
At 5' 7" the Klock Werks should be okay for you. On a guy 6' the wind hits you in the forehead. They look great on a Street Glide. They are just to short for me.
I am 6' and have a 9 1/2" Clearview with recurve and look about 3 inches over it. At the end of the day the windshield will be covered in bugs, but I won't have a single bug on my sunglasses. So I guess it works pretty good.
