Default RoadGlide owners with a Clearview. I got a ?

So after an 8 week wait my Clearview shield arrived today.&nbsp\\; It's a medium height with the recurve.&nbsp\\; As I'm looking at this thing, I don't see much of a recurve in it at all.&nbsp\\; If I hold a straight edge against the shield it only curves up about 1/4".&nbsp\\; I was expecting more.&nbsp\\; So for you guys that have this shield, is this the right amount of curve.&nbsp\\; I called them to ask about it, but they are closed for the holiday.
Thanks

It doesn't take much to change the air flow. I went with the SMALL

Yep, big bummer.
I just mounted it up and it is too tall.&nbsp\\; The top edge is right in my line of sight.&nbsp\\; Gonna have to return it for a shorter version.&nbsp\\; Hopefully there won't be a 8 week wait for the replacement.

I have the 16" with recurve.&nbsp\\; It's 4 inches highter than stock.&nbsp\\; It works great.&nbsp\\; I look over it by about two inches.

"I got a?" is a **** poor subject.

If the subject doesn't provide sufficient clarity for me to have a clue what the post is about, I'm not going to waste time with it.&nbsp\\; FYI.

I'll be certain in the future not to waste any of you time.&nbsp\\; Although it is ironic that you used your time to post a sarcastic response of no value to anyone.&nbsp\\; Fortunately, a few other members felt my post to be worthy and I thank them for their responses.&nbsp\\; I would suggest not wasting anymore of you time responding further.

what the hell is that guy talkin about?Waht a jerk!&nbsp\\;I have a 9.5" recurve and I can see over it good and it deflects the wind as good as the stock 12" . Man I thought the 12" was big. Waht size in&nbsp\\;inches do you have ? They measure from the fairing to the top of the window.
