Well, I think my headache is over. Got my CV 15 light tint yesterday. Held up to the bike and said "ok, this could work" so I went about the install. Little tricky since I'm using the H-D chrome trim, ok, very tricky. But I got it. It's not as sporty as the KW or CB, but has a little flair, kinda like me. I sat on the bike and I still can see over the top fine. I measured from the instrument panel to the top edge of the shield, 13".
Larry, give us some feedback when you can.

Put my Clearview GT Med light grey tint on last week and WOW what a nice windshield. Quiet and I can just see over the top by about 1-2 inches depending on how I'm sitting. Thick and quality all the way. No sound or wind at all. Love it.

Hey Larry,

The CV shield looks great. Is that a "GT Large", or something custom?

Hey Indenial,

Could you post a pic or two. I'm considering buying the CV GT Medium. It would be great to see what one looks like.

Larry,

The CV 15 shield you just put on your bike, is that the CV GT-Medium, or GT Large?  I have the CV GT Stock Height on my SERG, and I do get some buffeting on the top of the helmet above 60 mph.  Might need to go up an inch or two on the shield height.  I'm 6' 0" with at 31" I word.

I am 6'1" and have 34 inch legs, and the CB14 is too short, I am thinking the CB 15 or maybe something else.

I love the looks of the CB14, just for a 300 to 500 mile day, I could not hand that much buffeting.

Dave,  or anyone else.  I just got in my 15" Cee Bailey's dark gray windshield and it's too short for me.  I had it on the bike for approx. 25 miles.  If you or anyone else needs a 15" dark one, send me an email and I'll give you a good price and ship it right away.    sdavis49  at   agristar.net

Well after much pain and thought, I just ordered a CV Medium windshield. John with CV told me the windshield comes with a clear coating on it so you can install it and try it out. If you don't like it just send it back no questions asked, which made me VERY happy. But if you take the coating off its yours. Just thought I would let you guys know if you order one of these things you can get your money back if you don't remove the cover (and don't like it).

I'll give you guys a full report when I get it installed. :2vrolijk_21:

I guarantee, you'll want to take of the protective coating, Unless you want to look like a dork.

  I sold my CB 15" as it was too short for me but I haven't got another to try yet.  I also had an  aftermarket seat that raised me up a little, I think so maybe the 15" would have worked with the stock seat. I'm  6'2" with 34 inseam but 16 or 17" would be better with what I have now.

I also sold mine , 6.1 with 33 inse.... , signature seat , no BSR ride possible , too much turbulences .
I ordered the Windvest 12" , seems to have the strongest recurve and will see whether the look hurts me again , i hope not .
