Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, a 6". This helps out a bunch! I can save nearly half the cost by buying clearview recurve but I do like the looks of the CW. It's all about the dollars now. Thanks for the help!

 

I'll have to agree with GasCan...the 6.5" KlockWerks Flare that I put on my StreetGlide is one of the more satisfying things I've bolted on...Rides about like my HD 9.5" windshield and looks GREAT!!! Low wind noise (lower than the 9.5" HD), sunglasses stay still on my face. BTW, it keeps getting better with speed; 120 mph and still can hear the Allman Brothers....I am 5'10", and I slouch slightly when I ride...

 

All depends on what your looking for. Any short shield will put the wind in your face. I like that, and I like how the bike handles with the Klock Werks. A short shield is not for everyone.
Some of the taller Bailey's would be what I would go after if I didn't like the wind.
just 2 cts

Well after reading posts from here and different forums I decided to go with the 8" clearview curved. I think all things being similar, price and peoples opinions convinced me to pull the trigger. It should be here just in time for the spring rollout. It's my second upgrade. First was a 6 1/2" flat shield and it was ok but I think the 8" and curved might put it over the top. I will post once I mount and test.

 

I bought the 15" euro and 9" sport from cee baileys. Saved about 70 bucks with the 20% off and combined shipping. Will post some pics of both on the Roadie and give a review when i can

 

i had the klock on my sg for about 10 miles the removed it. i found it to be very noisy, not to mention the (pocket) that keeps most of the wind from peeling your lid off is small. i now use a 6'' windvest on my sg and a 8'' windvest on my ultra,im 6'1'' and thats what works for me. the guy i sold the klock to also took it off and sold it.

 

...my 6.5 KW flare works with both apes (15") & a windshield bag. Don't try that with the Baileys. However, I recently saw KW's newest offerings of 8" & 10" unveiled at the expo but can't speak for those.

Im 6'2 and love rockin' the Flare w/shield. Best mod Ive done....bar none. It also just so happens to be the best w/shield on the market. Don't take my word for it, take the industry experts who voted it best new product 2008 & best accessory 2009.

 

So in your opinion the windvest has a better wind pocket?

 

isnt it to cold to ride now !!

 

yes the windvest has a bigger wind pocket,i guess wind protection is more like it. just take a look at the two,i really liked the wicked look of the klock but if i moved my head out of that small pocket it sucked.
