    Congrats and welcome aboard.
    I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God than in church thinking about my bike.

    Great Advice as always

    Thanks all for the shield advise. Okcf6b sold me his Clearview 14 dark w/recuve and he installed it while I checked out his bike. It seems to work great and it looks good.

    Nice shield! I got the same thing from Shooter, without the vent. Curious about your thoughts on the vent after you get some time with the shield.

    What I noticed with the vent. Is there is a negative or up flowing current of air when the vent is closed. While this may not be bad. Opening the vent throws a curtain of air which can be directed from about chest high to face area. Helps on those day when temps reach for the upper 80's.

    Looks good Chris!

    I am 6 foot and I just got my F6B a few weeks ago and I installed a 19 inch slipstream with a vent set at its lowest position. I wear a neotech helmet and I get almost no wind noise at all. For some added room I replaced the seat with a Corbin with a matching backrest. I added a set of hand wings to scoop some air to my chest during the hot 90+ degree days here is Central Florida. I just need a set of highway pegs and I am set.

    I think it helps with the little buffeting at speed, leave it open most the time.

    Thanks guys. Sounds like the vent is a worthy investment. I contacted Clearview about adding the vent myself. This is what they said:
    "If the screen was the correct thickness then I would say yes anyone handy with power tools could do it. But since our screen is a bit thicker we have to do an inset around the top section of the vent opening to allow clearance for the vent assembly."
