I got to ride about 150 miles with the new Clearview today. It did everything I had hoped for. Compared to the Cee Bailey(which is excellent in its own right)it gives more protection because it is wider towards the top, plus it's 1" taller and the recurve deflects the airflow higher yet. I can also hear the radio at a lower volume than before. I think I am going to be able to ride with my open face helmet and sunglasses if I want to because when I got home I had a million bugs on the new windshield but none on the face shield of my modular helmet.
This is a comparison of a Clear View "small sport" with no vent, mounted in its lowest position against a Cee Baileys 11". Both are dark tint and look good on the black F6. I will be keeping the CB just in case the CV would get damaged. I would still have a very serviceable windshield.
I hope this helps anyone with a decision to make on windshields. For the record, I'm about 5'8" and broad shouldered. I don't think anyone of similar height could go wrong with either of these. I just like the CV better(for me).
If you need to see pics of these, just go to their websites. I am the last person in the world without a digital camera so I can't post pics.
I ordered a Clearview short sport recurve with light grey tint on 6/9. It arrived 7/9 and I mounted it immediately. I've been riding since the mid 1960's and of the 50+ bikes I've owned exactly zero have had anything that could be construed as a windshield. The closest would be my BMW R90S and the Hyabusas I've owned. Then along came the F6B. The stock shield seemed perfectly adequate but the vent in the top of my full face helmet was inhaling large amounts of bug smutz which was getting inside the helmet and into my hair which is not good when stopping for coffee in public. The Cleaview shield is reasonably priced so I decided to give it a shot. It is hard for me to over emphasize what an improvement the Clearview provides. The wind noise is reduced by an estimated 80% and the turbulence by an equal amount even in cross winds. I'm 5' 10" with a 30" inseam but I sit low in the saddle (slouch). With the short shield in the full down position I'm looking through the top 2.5" of the shield which works fine and I find is not distracting. The shield measures an exact 14" as measured per instructions on the Clearview web site. I would recommend this as a well made reasonably priced shield that functions as advertised. p.s. The shield was very well packed and even though UPS did their best to destroy the box the shield inside was in perfect condition.
