Anyone ever buy a Clearview shield for a Road King ? If so, opinions ? and thoughts on what size ? i am 5'7" tall looking to replace stock shield that came on my Classic....

 

Call them. They'll get you the size you need. Good people to deal with..... they are busy, so be patient when trying to call them.

 

I have a 15" LRS on my Road King and really like it. I am 5' 9" and have to lean up about 4" before I can feel the wind in my face. It is nice being able to see over the shield and yet have the benefit of the protection it offers.

 

If you go to their website, they have a good method of determining the height that you need. I just ordered two days ago and was told that what I needed was not in stock; but would be manufactured and shipped in about two weeks. The methods of determining the correct height will depend on whether you want to look "over" or "through" the shield. Think about that choice. I'm a "ducker". If I sit up very straight, I can look over. If confronted by heavy rain, hail, the exploded tire tread from a semi, etc., I can duck easily to let the shield protect me as much as it can. You pays your money, and you makes your choice.

If you figure out which shield you want; check the blems section for some potential big savings.

 

I am 5'8" and have the 17". I can just see over it on the road, and can scrunch down behind it in the rain. Perfect for me.

 

I got lucky and found a nice Clearview light tint 17" recurve shield on feebay for $80,
the 21" OEM shield had to go, the Clearview looks and works great...no more nodding up & down for a clear visual.

 

Daddy....I have a 2011 Road King Classic. I love my Clearview shield. I spent a huge amount of time researching all the different wind shields. Call Clearview at
303-838-0086....toll free 800-798-6089. Ask for Mark. He will get you dialed in.

I bought a 17 in with the dark tint...don't ride much at night. I'm 5'11". When I'm not slouching, I can see right over the top. Talk to Mark, but I think their 15 in will be perfect for you. The 17 will be to high, unless you want to look through the shield.

Definitely, get the RECURVE. What's nice about our Bike, is that you can take the screen off if you want. It definitely looks better I think, without it. For trips over a 100 miles or so, it's real nice to have.

Good luck and ride safe.

 

If you go to the Clearview web site there is a place for buying blemished windshields. I bought one of these for my 2010 RKC and when it arrived I couldn't even see the "blemish". I'm 6'3" and got the recurved unit that is 2" over stock height and it's just about perfect for me. Cheap too. One advantage of buying the blemished units (besides being cheap) is that they're already built - no waiting for it to be manufactured.

If you buy one that's too tall you can cut it down. Clearview shields are made of plexiglass, not Lexan and you can polish out scratches as you acquire them.
