I too am 5 8 wanna trade?

 

You can make it shorter by cutting a slice off the bottom (part that goes in fairing). Even if you mess it up a little, it will not be visible. There are posts in this forum on cutting down windshields.

 

As others have said, definitely don't want to be looking through the recurve on any recurve shield. Much better to look over it if you can.

 

If you try to cut it down at the bottom, you might render it unusable. It needs to conform to your fairing or it won't fit properly. Best thing to do is bite the bullet and pay return postage so you can get the proper size.

 

I cut the bottoms of stock windscreens with a rotozip.

easy.

Use another windscreen as a template to mark the contours of the cut, you can open up the keyholes if you want to make swaps easiler.


I have not used a KW or other recurve, but as pointed out again and again this 'problem' is the result of poor product choice, not poor product.

and you have a couple of options.

the "looking thru" is one of the reasons I do not recurve- in crap weather I tuck into the windscreen- with the distortion of a recurve that would not be possible esp. at night.

Spoke to Noah at KW great customer service they will replace it. Out the freight but such is life

 

Yer not to be looking through any type of shield, but rather just over top of it.

 

You actually shouldnt notice it even being there. i shouldnt say shouldnt but i dont notice mine being there. I like my 6.5 KW just fine but im thinking of getting a LRS and trying it out.

I said shouldnt 3 times. ha!! no 4 times.

 

Sales won't be going on much longer, good time to try one if you're thinking about it!!!

 

Next one I get will be the 9 inch recurve polycarbonate one from Fastaire.
Got my sites on that, when it is needed.
