Some guys here say that the recurve works, others say it does nothing. I took my first ride tonight after getting the 9.5 inch for my 08 EGS. Conditions tonight included a slight breeze. I can report that for me the recurve does help to put the wind up over the helmet and so does eliminate some of the so-called helmet buffeting. I'm looking forward to trying it with a little more windspeed. With my old windshield I could, when riding along, put my hand up by the top of the windshield and block the effect of the wind on my helmet. With the recurve I put my hand up and felt no pressure which tells me the recurve is pushing the wind up higher. So, I recommend it.

 

Thanks ajay, i have been thinking of trying one myself.

 

Good review, thanks!

How tall are you?

 

I love mine and the recurve definitely makes a difference for me.

 

Is this in comparison to the same height windshield you were using before the clearview or did you get a shield that was one to two inches shorter?

 

RF, get one of the blems. I did and unless you use a microscope, you can't see a mark.

 

Same height. My previous windshield was the Harley Davidson 10 inch which measured from the top of the fairing to the top of the shield slightly over 9.5 inches.

 

I have the Clearview 9 1/2" with Recurve and I'm 6 foot and sit pretty straight up while riding (I look over a 12" shield).

The Clearview 9 1/2" with Recurve will be covered in bugs, but I very rarely ever get bugs on my glasses.

 

THat's the same that I got on my Ultra. Stock one just was in my line of sight. Feel no extra wind with the Clearview.

 

I purchased a blem and it's great. The minor imperfections are below the faring edge and do not show even if you could easily see them. I called Clearview about their blems in stock and they were very helpful with information on where the blems were and what they looked like.
