Great reply! It's hard to beat experience. Those recurve Clear Views are looking better and better as I'm hearing the Madstad bases for the F bike got some gaps.

I took the Harley 13.5 " Madstad off its base with the brackets still mounted to the shield and held it up to the stubby Honda window. You could drill ithe stubby shield and it would fit. Only problem is that there is about zero clearance between the inside bottom of the shield and the vinyl for a pretty long tangent. It would be hard to get a nylock nut on the bottom bolts. You could also make some long bracket adapters that would bolt up higher and extend past the top of the stubby shield.
I did notice the stubby shield is thinner than the Madstad shield and base. Not sure if it could take the torque. But then I suppose I could cover it with packing tape

As far as gaps with the Madstad's bases... 7/16" weatherstripping easily remedies that. Even Clear View sends out weatherstripping tape for their Windshields.

NAHD,
I have a windbender and i like it a lot. I also had one on a previous Goldwing. The re-curved upper edge (lamineer lip) does a great job of lifting the wind blast above my head. I ride with the shield in the next to lowest setting and very seldom adjust it even in the rain.
Good luck and enjoy your F6B.
My only complaint with the Clearview was I didn't think the instructions were clear about where to put the tape properly. After install, my plastic dash panel rubbed a spot in each bottom corner where it touched the windshield. It rubbed through the black coating. Other than that, I'll probably buy another for my new B. The vent and recurve are must haves. Welcome to the board!
