Decided to go with the 10" Wind Vest windshield over the Clearview Recurve because I didn't want to wait umpteen weeks to get it. So after a 300+ mile ride on the Ultra this weekend with the new windshield, I have some observations for those of you who are considering this as compared to the stock shield:

The good: I can now see over the top of the windshield instead of having the top of the stock shield right in my line of sight; it throws the wind up over me, though the buffeting is going on right at the top of the helmet (I'm right at 6' tall); the fit and finish is great, and no vibration either at idle or at speed.

The bad: It magnifies the wind's effects transmitted to the handlebars -- more buffeting noticed due to the "curve" of the windshield; bugs more prone to hit me in the face than with full shield.

Overall I think I am more satisfied with this than the stock shield, though the real test will come when my wife rides with me -- wondering what effect she will feel with the reduced height on the windshield...

Thought you Ultra owners would be interested in the initial observation of this product...

 

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at a Windvest for my 07 SG. Keep us informed.
