What length Clearview?
I like the height of the stock windshield on my 08 EGC, 12". I'm planning on getting a Clearview to replace it and hopefully reduce the hammering on my full face helmet. Should I stick with 12" to match the stock, or go shorter?

There are lots of posts on the subject but to recap try fairing wind deflectors (HD, Freedom Wings, etc...) and that between the fork wind deflector.

Maybe 5'11 here and I have an 8"recurve and like it around town when it is warm.Does me a great job when I am helmetless.On the e-way the helmet has buffeting and make radio hard to here.My stock Ultra screen was worse.I would try a 9.5 as an all around screen.Good company great product.
the 6.5" with the celarview. Way better than the stock 4". i can now focus on the highway signs. I look over the windshield about 2 -3inches or so.. Im 5"10. Still gives a breeze at highway speeds. didnt ride much yet since installing the clearview during winter months. just my feedback.

Agree, but what's been throwing me off is that so many guys are happy with 6" or 8" Clearviews. But I now see that some have lower bikes, lower seats, are shorter or taller. I think I'll try the 12" and hopefully it will at least cut down on the hammering on the helmet. I gotta find something that works or I'll sell this thing and just ride the Buell.
