Have a number of windshields. I switch them out based on the season. Summer is short - wind in face is very good. Spring/Fall - look through shield on the Ultra so I don't freeze. Hey, its Wisconsin. I have two Windvest shields and one Klockworks and a few no names.

Looks are in the eye of the beholder but from a functional perspective the Windvest is superior to the Klockwerks. The Klock allows air to leak in from the sides - especially in a crosswind. Windvest does a better job of pushing air up and over than the Klock. Just my experience. YMMV.

My thoughts exactly. Never have figured where the stupid idea of looking over windshields came from. I look thru mine all the time and have never had a problem. It is tinted light grey and cuts the glare of on coming traffic and night. Kinda of a pain in the *** in the rain, but better than getting blinded by dirt, rocks, etc..LOL
I can see not looking through a recurve but not a tall shield like I got..The pic dosen't show the windshield I got from Clarks.

Love my 6.5" Kw 8.5' is to tall for your height. The thing I like about these types of shields is you get to look over them and not through them. I have hated all the tall regular shields I have owned.

I'm not much on my 8.5 klock works either I'm 6" and it just seems to create too much of a blind spot in front of the bike for me. Tried the 6.5 first but got too much buffeting. Good product just now need to look for a new shield. Anyone else with this problem?

I've had quite a few different shields, around the same height (6.5" or 7") on my bike and I always end up back with the Klock shield. It just does it for me!
