Default Clearview Shields

I just wanted to pass on a compliment..just got my Clearview 8.5" in for my Street Glide. The only thing I can say is why have I been buying those cheap shields for the couple of years..what a difference. The price is a little high, but you get what you pay for. These shields are worth the money, the HD shields don't even compare. I was so impressed I ordered the 4.5 last night.

Default Clearview 8.5 with recurve

I have the Clearview 8.5 with recurve.
Great product.

What I really like is the recurve, it gives me the functionally of a windshield 2 inches taller.

Visibilty one and function is the second. Like CruzN said it acts like a shield 2" taller than a stock HD of the same size. Just looking at them side by side you will see the difference immediately. I don't work for Clearshield, just giving my 2 cents to those considering a new shield.

How long did it take to get your shield? I went on their website and it's says 3-5 weeks, too long to wait during riding season.

I have had my Clearview for over 2 years. The product itself is high quality, it is a nice looking windshield and the people are great to work with. I have asked many questions over the last couple of years and they have been great in responding and helping when I need it.

Clearview is a great sheild. They produce size and color in groups, therefore the long wait for shipping if yours is not on there schedule for a while. Well worth the money and the wait. Ordered mine in mid winter which worked for me.

I ordered mine and it took 5 weeks to get. So you need to plan ahead. It was 8.5 with recurve in black.
