Recurve shileds in in my opinion don't work. I had the 6" recurve and then went to the 6" standard and the latter offered more protection. The recurve seemed to push the wind right into my face. I think www.clearviewshields.com offers a W/S with a slight curve at the top that probably works well but I never owned one. But Klock Werks and the like recurve is a waste of money IMO.
I agree 100 percent. Glad to see its not just me.
Ive tried recurves from two vendors, (Fastair and Clearview) IMHO, while they may kick the air VERY slightly higher, (1/2"-3/4") they create MORE turbulence doing it. Both mine rattled the sunglasses right off my face. Changed to a NON recurve of the SAME height, problem gone.
Will not waste money on another $100+ recurve shield again.
BTW, Fastaire DID contact me when I ordered a plain shield from them 3 weeks after ordering their recurve, wanted to find out what I did NOT like about the recurve. Seemed genuinely interested in finding what he could do to improve it. I think he eventually stopped offering a recurve due to problems with getting them manufactured. But the fact that he NOTICED that I ordered another one after the recurve, and made the effort to contact me to resolve why, shows very good customer service and a commitment to improving his products.
For that reason, he is #1 on my list for shields.

No visiblity what-so-ever. I can see fine over mine and I think it looks sharp. To each monkey their own tree!

I have the 9" dark grey and the 8" light grey, I can look over both of them, so night or day riding doesn't change anything. The stock 12 was right in my line of sight. Can't beat fastaires prices.
