Trying to figure out if these two windshields would have similar wind deflection characteristics.

First: http://www.longrideshields.com/stealth.html The 8" Longrideshields Stealth. Looks awesome, would be my first preference!

Second:http://clearviewshields.com/shop/product.php?id=11 8" Recurve.

I need to get some more protection but the Stealth seems to look better on a Street Glide. But beyond looks, it needs to work or whats the point?

Anyone have experience with both?

 

I can tell you that the stealth works excellent, and is my favorite shield, but my opinion might be a little biased! : ) That being said, I don't think you'll be disappointed, not because I work here, but because I've tried that shield and love it. hope that helps any

 

long ride shields is by far the best. the other brand you mentioned cracked on install with me.

 

2 totally different styles. The LSR should deflect more wind, but I had a Clearview for 3 at least 40,000 miles no problem.

 

Thanks! : ) We Appreciate that. I just like the Stealth better purely on looks. I don't know why. It's unique. I like the X-Stream too, but still not as much as the stealth

 

An 8" LRS Stealth will not provide the same wind deflection as an 8" Clearview. The Stealth is a great shield but if an 8" standard recurve windshield is indeed the correct height for you then you would need to go to a 10" Stealth to get the same coverage. An 8" Clearview has a vertical heigth of 8" an 8" Stealth has roughly 6.5" vertical. A 10" Stealth has right at 8" vertical height. I no I have owned a 10" Stealth before. I'm glad they brought it back so much that my new one just arrived today.

 

You've definitely done your research. : ) you are correct, the clearview and the stealth are different designs, so are measured differently. You definitely want to get the one that is correctly measured for your height.
