I am planning on replacing my stock windshield (like many of you have already done). I have seen a mix of responses across several threads.
I like the simple recurve and price of the Clearview windshields, however it sounds like they can be a little slow to respond to orders. Is that true? How slow is slow? I don't want to wait all summer or get into a blemished unit - that is partly why I am replacing the stock one now.
Who else sells a simple recurve or flare windshield? What has been your experience with the company?

I have tried many windshields. Frankly more than I want to admit. Clearview's recurve seems to suit me best. I think Long Ride is an up and coming windshield supplier. I tried their X-Stream and gave it a favorable review. I have not tried their version of the recurve, but would recommend them based on service alone.

I have been using clear view 9 1/2 " recurve for 75k or so miles on it with vent the best quality shield money can buy. Depending on riding season can be quick or 4to6 wks give em a call very nice people they won't BS you.

Everything they sell now is the hard coated so they are less prone to scratching than some of the others.

I bought a Clearview blem. It had one pinpoint spot 2 inchs up and 3 inches right of center. Now that it's been mounted for nearly a year, I can't find it. I have the light smoke 10.5 recurve. I'm 6'3" and it takes the airstream right over my helmet. I can easily see over the top. I've has a couple of Clearviews on past BMWs and I've never been dissatisfied. Good luck!

I have a 9.5" light tint clearview on my 09 SG with a corbin dual touring seat and it works great. I think it took a couple of weeks to get in the spring, answered all questions fast and good quality. I have read good things about longride shields as well. I am 6"2" and the 9.5" shield works just about as good as the 12" stock ultra shield.
