                         as you can see the angle changes ever so slightly   ...   and you pick up an inch or so in height

                               I'm 5'10" ( both tall and wide ) and the klock werks works for me

                               I just rode from Key Largo to Key West last week with a baseball cap on, bill facing forward

                               if you're 1/2 inch taller it might not stay on

                                                                                              thx
                                                                                              wts

WTS, thanks for the info. and pictures.
Did you find the new one more sturdy than the older one.  I have heard complaints about flapping in the wind, vibration etc./

                                  I just got back from Key West   ...   rode about 2200 - 2300 miles

                                  if it flapped I didn't notice it   ...   and I rode at about every speed at one time
                                                       or another

                                  I look about an inch over the shield, but honestly wasn't watching for movement
                                                       so I couldn't say it didn't

                                  by the way, this is my first Roadglide   ...   last year I rode my SEEG so I really
                                                       don't know how to compare

                                  sorry to be so wordy   ...   but if you ask me what time it is I'll tell you how to
                                                       build a watch

                                                                             thx

               P.S.             not trying to be a smart donkey   ...   but when I pass about sixty
                                               I watch the rode a lot closer

                                               lotta potential road kill in my area



                 which reminds me   ...   I passed a alligator that had been run over on hwy 27 in florida

                                                  thx

I must have been a bad boy cause I got the shorter 9.5 inch in Oct after waiting a month and a half. I was told the wait was for a new production run. Hum. To top it off, it fit crappy and the bottom needed trimming. Had that 1959 experimental one off snowmobile look. Spose KW will give me a brake on the new one. I,m guessin not....  :-\

                              it don't hurt to ask   ...   it's got the same part number as the old one, so you need them tom measure it before they ship

                                                     it took 'em 3 tries to get mine right   ...    that's right they sent me a windshield 3 times   ...   
   
                                                     when the right one got there I sent the other two back   ...   they sent me a return fed/x label

                                                                                                     just work it

                             and the new

WTS Looks like that foam you use on the fairing may give the shield more rize height. Is that it ?   Thanks Doc

                         I don't think so   ...    when I bought the clearview, it came with a piece of foam like
           
                                      the one you see now   ...   didn't like the looks of the clearview, but did like

                                      way the foam worked   ...    so
                 
                         I bought myself a piece of foam strip and used it on the klock werks   ...   but not
   
                                     knowing the exact curvature I mount the foam to the seam in the fairing,

                                     not the plexiglass   ...    when I got the new shield I didn't even change the foam


                                                                 Hope that's clear
                                                                                                thx

                       P.S.   if you set both the new and the old windshield on a flat surface ( ie. a desk )

                                          and measure vertical to the desk, the new one is taller

                                                                                     thx

Hey folks ,
Vic Briggs from Klock Werks just have sent me the message that the new 16" flare will be out in about 4-6 weeks .
Do you think it is worth to wait or order the Clearview Medium .
Hmmm ???????

I went out and tried to duplicate your measurements on my bike.  ;) It looks like the new version isn't going to work for me either. My flip up screen sits farther back than your. I beleive it will make contact with the windshield.

It places the Navigation right in front of you, or in my case in my one ear! IMO it is cleaner looking than a portable unit mounted to the handlebars. Than add that my 01 radio was limited at best so when replacing it why not upgrade a little?!.

Rear view camera also.
