Again thanks for write up & for measuring from a "know" point for ref:.  I ordered the 14" dark tint.  hopefully that will "fit" me. ,

My Tall was excellent, just did not look right to me from the side view. Your Stocker should look great, it will be interesting to see how it performs when compared to the CB.

im a little worried. but I must say that today I swapped rides at lunch and the CB 14 was fine, at 55 and under. beyond, no tunes. if i leaned down it was fine. maybe I need to remeasure my inseam, 

[tlr]

let me add my 2 cents.  I installed the CB 13" (5'9" 30" inseam) dark tint this weekend and rode about 50 miles on the street and on the highway up to 90 mph or so.  First, installation was very easy all by my little self.  All hardware was very good and well thought out.  The stock SERG rubber gasket fit perfectly and was a great idea of theirs to use.  The shield, although not thick was thick enough and of very good quality.  No shaking at all at speed, that I noticed anyway.  I saw over the shield with room to spare.  Regardless of speed, the wind was the same.  Meaning, wind was at or slightly above eye level.  Glasses did not shake but I felt it.  Hawg Wired sound system sounded pretty darn good as well. 

I also have at home a CV GT Small.  I did not install that one, but i did put it up against the CB.  The CV as about 1 1/2 inches higher than the CB.  That might be a better size for me, but doesn't look as cool as the CB.  The angle of the 2 seemed about the same.

Peace

Like from this point to this point?

Has anyone tried riding at night with the dark grey CB?  I'd like to get one in dark grey but I ride some at night.  I like to look over the top but I wonder what it would be like looking over the top when you can't see anything through the bottom or can you see some through it at night?

It's not bad, I have rode some in the dark with mine. If there is any kind a light, you can see through it. I'm riding tonight out in the country. I'll let you know if it is an issue.

BTW, I have a 14" dark

[skippy49]

That's the one I was thinking of getting, the 14" dark.  Let us know what you think after riding in the dark again, would you?
Thanks,

I'm 6 ft with a 14" CB dark. Just got back from a night ride. I see over perfectly and the tint is not really an issue at night. The dark tint can actually give you a shield to use when some one won't get off the high beams. I have HID lamps that work well also. this is low beam at eye level.

Rode 100 miles today in a moderate wind and the 14 inch CB worked fine. There is a little wind on the top of of the head and a reasonable soft ripple of air around the ears. Nothing deafening like stock and not near the level of the KW. Could hear the radio fine even at 75. I'm very happy with the performance and sure it's good for a long days ride.

Worked just fine, dark tint is not an issue..... Like more and more everytime I ride.

[skippy49]

Thanks Highwaystar & UFO hog.  I think I'll order one and give it a try.
