I can't stand looking through a windshield on a bike. I absolutely love my recurve.

I only have one, I bought the tallest windshield harley made for my RKCustom. Im 6'2" and I look through it. The longest trip I have made with it is just over 2000 miles. I loved it, doesnt bother me a bit. Im riding with it to mexico here in august, I dont mind looking through it at all. My favorite part is to look at all the dirt and bugs on it. Normally they would be on me.

I usually look through mine. Doesn't bother me that it catches the bugs instead of my teeth either.

No bugs or rocks in the face with the recurve?

Just installed recurve cuz I didn't like to look through shield at night. Recurve is great, no bugs so far. As for rocks...duck. 2.5" shorter shield give same wind feeling as stock for me.

I like looking through the shield, except in the rain. I just replaced the stock shield with the shorter one. I still look through it, but in the rain, I can sit up straighter and see over it. The only problem is that it curves slightly at the top and I sometimes get some distortion when looking through it.

I may go back to the stock height and suffer in the rain.
