Clearview Windhshields
On 10/20 I placed an online order for an 8" tinted upper recurve Clearview windshield for my SG. The web site says they will respond via email with a confirmation. I haven't seen anything and I have paid via AMEX for the shield. I have emailed and called them with no response. Is this typical? Also, anyone with the 8" care to share their satisfaction with the recurve function? Thus far nothing has beat my Cee Bailey SSC 13". Also love the looks but would like to swap out for something a bit lower profile on occasion.
Thanks!
Thanks!

RE: Clearview Windhshields
I have the Clearview recurve on my RKC. I called Clearview 3 times. Twice someone answered the phone and the third time I left a message regarding a scratch I put in the windshield and how to remove it. I received a call back in about 15 minutes. Each time they were very helpful and pleaseant to talk to. Try again and when you do talk to someone let them know they didn't respond well to your call.
I think they are a good company but I'm dealing with limited contact with them. Their windshield is with out question 1st class and way above the quality of the RKC standard windshield.

Well, as an long-time Wing rider, ah've been plumb spoiled by Allen Smith an' Tulsa Enterprises' windshields. I've seen "blems" from him that were of better optical quality than most "first line" products from the other after-market shield manufacturers. If you go to their website an' look around, you'll find "care kits" for the shields, along with info on how ta fix scratches, IIRC. If not, pick up the phone an' call him durin' regular business hours - he's always happy to help.
For now, he's only makin' shield fer the FLHT's, but he's been known ta ramp up production before if there was enough call fer 'em!

I don't think there are many people on staff. I got the feeling that everybody wears a number of hats, and I'm pretty sure there's no "receptionist"--whoever isn't busy answers the phone. But once you reach them you will have excellent service, and the shields are second to none.

I would expect that it is a very small company - with that said - the service and reponse I have received has been very good - just received a second windshield I ordered - stock height with recurve for winter riding - first was a 9.5" with recurve, great for summer but the full height is better when the temps drop below 40 - just my opinion of course.

STS...yeah I keep trying to go smaller with the same results....not very good at preventing buffetting regardless of the design. I have several 6" shields from various after market co.'s and one 6" from Cee Bailey SSC that is surprisingly inefficient compared to the full sized Cee Bailey I have. I have a feeling the 8" Clearview w/ recurve is going to be the same story.
Is the shield in your pic the 9.5"?
Thanks

You are correct - picture shows the 9.5" - only had the new one on a few days but it is quite a difference - rode in yhesterday AM - low temps and no problems at all - like the look of the shorter shield but I hate freezing my face off more...

They dont build the windshields they are build on a order basis by someone else for clearview one at a time and it takes a month or more turnaround, keep calling alan will pick up when he's there, but I figure this is a small garage company and he probly has a day job.
