Chip I'm glad you finally got the windshield. Hopefully you'll get to do some riding soon and check it out.

The wait for these Clearview shields is ridiculous.  I was told 6-7 weeks in the order confirmation e-mail I got from them.  Tomorrow is 8 weeks since I ordered.  In the meantime my credit card was charged on January 7.

I understand your pain. Been there!

After the third delivery date came and went I sent John an email that said since I had ordered the windshield I had started and built 14 houses. And of those 14, 3 were being lived in and all in less time than it took for him to make one windshield. I really think they would be better advertising 12 weeks so when they shipped at 10 to 11 weeks everyone would be happy.

Finally got the POS today.  Apparently, they had to make 3 within the last couple of weeks just to get a good one.  First one had "3/4-inch scratch on it," so the tried again.  Next one got made with "1/4-inch light surface scratches on it."  Third try was a charm.  (I guess, anyway.   Haven't taken the protective covering off yet.)  If this happens with every order, no wonder it takes so long.

So, ordered it on Tuesday, December 11 and 10 weeks and 2 days later, it finally came.  Cripe!

As beautiful as it looks as I ride down the road, the memories of the wait still overshadow the end result!

Good luck!

I'm sure it's gonna be just what the Dr. ordered, but it almost (I said, "almost") makes me glad we have a d@mn winter around here.  I couldn't imagine waiting that long during riding season.  Still think they need to re-examine their practice of charging the Visa before the product ships, too.

At 6'4 I need a shield for the serk before riding season. Please post if it is worth the hassle. Is there another manufacture that does as nice a job as Clearview??

(A) Unless your riding season doesn't start 'til Memorial Day weekend, there's a helluva good chance you won't get a Clearview in time.

(B) It was on my SEEG.  Long wait there, too, but the windshield works as advertised (with the Euro-lip) and does not scratch as easily as a stock H-D shield.

(C) Nope.  That's part of the problem.  They do make a pretty nice product (once it finally arrives ).

Thanks for the honest opinion. My riding season will start once the salt is washed away. Here one never can be sure. Hopefully in April!!! Guess I better get off the pot and place my order. Thanks Again.

Best that I can tell the SERG windshields take the longest to get shipped.
Call them and ask about the SERK's.
BUT!, whatever they tell you, add another two weeks and you will be fine!
It has to suck when you have a great product and even the customers know you don't deliver when you say you will.

Howie, I'm not thrilled with the 18" Clearview I have. I might order the standard Clearview 17" or possibly a 16". You're taller than me and the 18" I have might be good for you. Let me know, and you can try it in York. If you like it, I'll order a new shorter Clearview, and use the HD mid-low that came with the W/S assembly in the interim.

Do you have, or are you getting a standard 5-hole windshield assembly or using the stock 7-hole windscreen? I have a normal 5-hole W/S, not the stock 7-hole windscreen. Let me know.

Hoist!

Finally got my +2 Clearview for my new '08 RG.  Installed it Sunday morning and went for a 100 mile ride.  I'm 6'4", and it fits me just right - no more buffeting, and I look right over the top.  A BIG improvement over the stock unit.  Sunglasses and do-rag stay where they are supposed to - unlike with the stock shield.  It was a long wait, but worth it (in my opinion).

Anybody need a stock RG shield?
