    14" Clearview Shield with recurve here.

    The vent was a waste of money for me. Doesn't seem to make any difference whether it is open or closed.


    I'd rather have the added visibility ahead.

    Wow, it worked great on my Clearview. I pushed the lever down all the way and directed air on my abdomen and I could definitely feel it. Kept it closed when it got chilly too.

    Personally, I love the versatility of my stock shield and the MRA bolt on spoiler. It functions almost as good as the Madstad. I have the clear spoiler and with the stock shield blacked out it is hard to notice that it is even there from a few feet away. In the lowest point, I can change the angle and get some protection or else raise it all the way for almost complete coverage---or I can retract it to the lowest position flat against the stock shield and I get all of the air I want.

    This is my 5th setup and the only one that gives me every option for air movement that I can adjust in less than 10 seconds to fit the temperature of the moment.

    The Baker built hand wings work well to direct air flow towards or away from the rider. I have them installed as well as the stock tall Honda windshield and love them both.
