Hey Dan, I hope you aren't in a big hurry. They do say 10-15 days before shipping but I ordered mine on March 7th and didn't hear a peep from them. On Friday, March 18th, I sent a very nice email inquiring on my new windshield. On Monday the 21st, I received a note that they were beginning work on my windshield. Got a note on the 25th that it was completed, it passed inspection and was shipping. I received a note on the 28th that it actually shipped. I received it on the 30th so 23 days from order to receipt. If I had really been in a hurry for this, I may have been a bit more bothersome to them. Still, it was longer than I expected.
The shield itself was great. Yes, it's covered on both sides with the protective sheeting. There are numerous signs stating do not remove until you fit it to the bike. I've had it on for 600 miles now and I can tell a world of side wind difference. The pocket behind the shield is much nicer than what I already considered very good on my Freedom shield. I miss the polished edges with the Freedom but so far I'm very happy with the investment of the Clearview.
