Default Any issues with Clearview?

After reading many posts about how much people like the clearview shields I decided to get one. I called them last Friday, just to hear their message machine tell me they didn't open until 9am MT. No issue. It was ten minutes till. I waited about 20 minutes and called back. This time I received a somewhat garbled message that said something about them responding to calls in the order they were received. I left a message giving my phone and the shield I was interested in. Must be a long line of calls in that 10 minutes they were open Friday. I'm still waiting for a return call. Saturday I emailed them. And I'm still waiting for a response to that too. In their defense, I did assume their note about responding within 24 hours meant week day hours. My question is, has anyone else had similar problems? Are they worth the hassle? I'm not really into begging people to take my money. If not Clearview, who?

Their windshields are good, but I find they scratch easily. And I'm very careful with what I use to clean it too.

No problems. Easy to deal with. 3 months ago.

I also think they are good, but disagree that they scratch easy. This is start of the third season and 31k miles on mine. I have no scratches, and I'm NOT careful when cleaning it. I just wet a towel, wipe the bugs off, hit it with some Plexas and ride. I am not very nice to it, and it has served me well.

I put a 9.5" smoke w/recurve on my 08 Street Glide and have never looked back. Stock shield is useless; looks good in the showroom, where it belongs. Yes, you might have to wait for a return call, but it's worth it. On another note, I ordered a blem shield, still looked fine to me, but I wanted to return cause it was an 8" w/recurve and John was nice enough to take it back and sent me out the 9.5". Great guy, and good service. I'm also using the fork baffle from HD.

Shields are top notch but they don't mass produce em for some reason, bought 3 in last five years for different bikes, the one I used the most has 50k miles on it. I also just clean em what ever available and still looks good.
