I have a medium (14" x extra wide) size Clearview shield. Works pretty well when dry up to about 60 mph. Gets noisy over 60. I get hit in the face with rain-no matter the speed. It is supposed to have "re-curve" . Wish it were 4" taller. I could still see over it.
I have the windbender on my 6 and ran one on my full wing prior. Love it! You are correct they use the same concept of two split shields. The windbender has been around for years and come in several tints and sizes. I can give you more info if you like. Just let me know
Yeah, I meant wind bender.
I looked at the Clearview and did some measuring, I think I would need the 16 and I would still be looking over. I'm 5'11".Originally Posted by TouchOfGray
Going to Wing Ding Friday and have scheduled some time with the Wind Bender vendor to try different size shields. I like the idea, just hope it works for me.
The 16" should work for you. I'm 5' 10" and easily see over my 16" Clearview. I would have liked to try a 17". The protection is not excellent, it is good. The shield looks great (vs Madstad).

I also am running a Windbender windshield and I love it. I also had one on a full Goldwing before the F6B.
The Windbender has a laminar lip the kicks the wind up and is designed to be looked over as are several of the other windshields. The vertical adjustment strips are below my normal field of vision and are not a distraction. If you find a used one for a Goldwing it can be used on the F6B.
Good luck in your search but I do like the looks of the Windbender as well.
Thanks for all the responses. I'm hoping I can find a windshield I'm happy with.
