Clearview Windshield height question

[buda315]

I am anxiously waiting for a new large Clearview windshield light gray sport with recurve.

I am aware that they come in 3 sizes, small, medium and large, measuring 14'', 15'' and 16'', respectively, as measured from the center dash emblem to the top of shield.

I am a little nervous that the tall will be too tall for my height (5' 7.5'' with 29-30'' inseam) and be at eye level.

In short, does anyone know how it would compare to a stock Goldwing shield at its lowest level (16.5'') as measured from the rubber seal?

Or for those of you who have a Clearview do you know how long it is as measured the traditional way from the rubber seal?

The Goldwing at its lowest position is pretty good for me, perhaps an inch lower would be even better.

I would like to know how it compares to this known reference point.

I have the exact shield you are waiting for. I found it to be slightly shorter than the tall Honda one. For your height it should work perfectly. It does depend on which seat you have and how tall you sit in the saddle though. I'm currently using the stock seat with a back rest and I actually used a Rotozip to elongate the holes to get the shield a little taller. I'm 6'1" though and I sit pretty tall.

I have clear views tallest, I'm 5'7" but sit tall on a stock seat and can see the road 30ft in front of me over the screen.

That's good to hear. I too sit on a stock seat.

So, if you had to redo, you would not get the medium to have the top edge less close to your field of vision?

They are making my shield tomorrow or Tuesday, so this is my last chance to chose size.

If it's shorter than Honda tall OEM, than I will probably be happy.

If anyone gets a chance to measure their tall from the rubber, I'd appreciate it to alleviate my concern..

And... I'm just curious how it compares to the Honda unit.

Thanks everybody for responding.

My clearview is my third windscreen. I wouldn't change a thing on it. I hear the radio at 14 doing 80. I have a vent for the heat in Florida and the curve at the top takes the wind over my helmet preventing wind turbelance. You should be good to go! Here is a pic of mine.

Hard to tell from picture. Is yours the wider touring one?

Thanks for the reassurance. Can't wait to get it. Suddenly I can't stand wind noise in my maturing age.

That's a nice view of John's Pass Village from the other side. I used to stay at Bahia Del Mar Island near by. I love the whole area.
