I've had a 8" Clearview for 2 yrs and 30k miles and it has been very good. I'm not real nice to it as far as cleaning it. I just grab a damp towell and rub the bugs off, give it a quick spray with Plexis wipe with a micro fiber cloth and ride. It is still clear and no visible scratches. I would buy again

Ordered 2, bought an 8" for cooler weather and the 4.5" for summer. Ordered ones they already had in stock and had them within a couple days.

Only rode with the 8" so far but I love it.

Last year when I ordered my clearview they gave me a lead time of 6 weeks. I had it in my hands in 2 weeks. Can't complain about that.

I have had both Clearview and Long Ride. Long Ride will get to you FAST and is cheaper, but seemed to scratch up pretty easy from normal use. I have had a couple of Clearviews on different bikes and yes, you have to wait, but the quality is top notch.

FWIW, I now have a Klockwerks shield on my Street Glide, though, and I am very happy with it.

I have 2 Clearviews (waited between 5 & 7 weeks for each) and 2 LRS's (waited between 2 & 4 days for each and paid around 2/3 what the Clearviews cost).

Both put out quality products. One is much faster and considerably less expensive.

+1 I've got a 10.5" dark grey recurve (I'm 6'5") on my 09 SG. Works great, looks good and fast delivery (mine was in stock). Clearview also has a great return policy that allows you to test ride the new shield.
