    Clearview Shield ?

    Well now that I finally have my RDL saddle on the F6B I have found that the KW flair shield is way to low for me. I love the look and it was just right with a OEM saddle for a 6'5" 400lb type guy, but since I'm now setting up 3" and back 4" the KW flair don't get it.... soooo I have been looking at the Clearview Sport touring(26" wide), tall(16" measured from the top to the emblem on the dash), dark tint, 5 way vent with recurve. http://www.clearviewshields.com/moto...b-windshields/
    I had a small issue with the KW flair(13.75" from top to emblem on dash) and my Rocky comfort risers, the throttle cables hit the KW flair in a full left turn of the bars when the risers are adjusted for full width, which is what I need, also I could not lock the front end due to this interference.
    I have been in contact with Clearview and discussed my issue with the KW flair to which their response was "We have had no issues or conflicts reported with the Clearview Sport Touring and aftermarket risers on the Honda F6B"

    My ? is, anyone have any experience with the Clearview shields on the F6B and if ya run one which one did you get?

    Hey Biglry,
    I have the Clearview Sport touring(26" wide), short(14-14.75"measured from the top to the emblem on the dash), dark tint, 5 way vent with recurve and love it!!

    However, I am 5'8" and not as tall as you...
    I think you will be very happy with what you have picked out. I really like the idea of the recurve and think it works as advertised. The fit, finish and overall quality of the Clearview shield is excellent. I would caution....do not get in a hurry...it will probably take 5 weeks to get. Why they don't have these ready to ship is beyond me.

    I would recommend this shield to anyone looking for a shield that wants to look over the shield rather than thru it. The recurve at the top makes the shield act like it's maybe 1-2" taller than it really is.

    Hope this helps....
    Go ahead and place your order...then forget about it

    Ride safe and enjoy the ride,
    G

    Just ordered a Clearview on Monday. They are saying "Our production is running about 10 to 14 BUSINESS DAYS TO MANUFACTURE AND SHIP.". Not sure if that means anything....

    Hope so, that is why I'm not too worried about the delivery date. Just hope I get it before heading to Houston in mid-July. Oh well, if not, road to Nebraska and back without a windshield, bucking a major head wind on the way back.

    Hell, I waited 3 months for the KW flair so a 15+ biz day wait is a piece of cake.
    Yep, I pulled the trigger on the Clearview I also found out that the Clearview has about 3/4" adjustment so a 16" could be a 16.75" if wanted(slotted mounting holes). I also like the fact that you can mount it, ride it and if not happy return it and only pay shipping with one caveat, You must keep the thin protective film that the shield is shipped with on...it must not be removed while test riding if you want to return the shield.
    Not a bad deal IMO.

    Oh...one other thing I like was the Clearview was about $100 less than the KW flair

    Looks like I'm going to have a KW flair in the classifieds for sale in the near future.

    Hey Blotar...I'm 5'8" depending on slouch and I just put on and had to take off a BaggerShield that was too tall. Do you know if the ClearView Medium is comparable to the BaggerShield 11"-19" adjustable?
