installed new Clearview windshield on my 14 FLHTK
Clearview windshield installed on my 2014 FLHTK. Posting quite a few photos; I really like it, to me it looks like it should have come with the bike day one. The angle slopes back following the angle of the fairing. I checked it against the stock windshield and it is within a 1/4" of the same height; the clearview being a touch higher. It is also a touch wider, as you can see in the photos the shield fits perfect, side to side. The recurve is gentle; while I still look over the shield, it will be easy to look through as well. This is the Medium size with smoke tint and recurve. Clearview is a supporter of this forum.
It is my understanding that Clearview spent a considerable about of time coming up with this shape. They even used a wind tunnel. This is not the same shape windshield they were selling in the past, it is my understanding they adapted the design to the Rushmore bikes first.
One complaint I have read is the time it takes from date of order to delivery. It took me a couple of weeks. I am very happy with everything about this shield, have not ridden the bike for any distance yet with the shield, once I do, I will report back. I was pretty happy with the stock shield so this should be a no brainer improvement, it sure is in the looks department IMHO.

I was getting a little buffeting with the stock shield, I followed CV's directions for measuring and ended up getting their Large in clear. It's only about 1 1/2" taller but it made all the difference. I am 5'10" but with a long torso and I see clear over it without a problem.
It did take a little while to get it but with the Polar Vortex going on this winter it wasn't a big deal...

No. It is another accessory you can buy. There are two styles. Solid like scottt has, and the slotted one. I bought the slotted one from HD. There is a Sponser in here who sells both ( I beleive), and they are very high quality and half the price of HD!
