Clear view 8"
Clear view cause it's a quality shield, 8" so you can hear the radio.

Do you ride with a passenger a lot? If so, our Flat Top is my recommendation. Due to its shape, we are able to have the "re-curve" span the entire width of the shield, making for the best wind protection.
Ultra is also an awesome shield for your bike. Our X-Stream and Stealth look great, and have the added "downward force" but as far as wind protection goes, they are not as good as our Ultra or Flat Top.
If you need any help at all, I'm happy to help. Just let me know.

I have a Freedom Shield 9". It works well and John from Freedom was real helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

+1 on the Flat Top. 90% 2 up and it does a great job!

I've had good luck with both the Fast Aire Aero and the Klock Werks Flare. The Flare is pretty obnoxiously priced though. Good luck.

I got a 6" Klock Werks and love it but I add 14" Monkey bars and it wont fit now. So either got to buy a new shield or modify the KW shield.

I have had 4 different windshields, and the very best by far is the LRS X-Stream. I have the 10" version.
