Windvest has a little sharper curve on the lip so it's a little more effective at putting the wind up over the top.

Getting this windshield thing right is key to really enjoying the BatWing ride. I've experimented with a bunch of different sizes, and came up with a 7 1/2" off ebay as the best for me. Just have to keep trying till ya get it exact. Good Luck.

Mines not a SG but you can get short windshields on e-bay for about $35. Experiment. Different heights for different occasions.

8.5 clearview with recurve on my EGC. I'm 5'10" and have great view of the road. The wind and rain goes just over my helmet.

See my sig pic - I have a Clearview 8" with recurve - acts like a 9" shield but I can see over it quite well. I'm a little over 5' 10". Highly recommend the Clearview.

You will find several pix of the Cee Bailey's SSC Windshield 11" (actual size 8.25 do to the curve)here. And pics of the Clark's Custom Windshields 10" here. I am planing on getting a Clark's 7.5" dark tint that I will be able to see over rather than through for the summer.
