I have two 12" WV on their way (gun smoke and dark smoke, should have ordered a clear also!). UPS says they will be here Monday. I went with the 12" based on measurements posted in another thread (about 10 1/2" of actual vertical height). The re-curve is supposedly like adding extra height, I'm skeptical. If it indeed does work I'll be able to drop down to a 10" (not holding my breath). Pics to follow upon install..............

I agree it is great looking and easy to see over even at night.  Just too much wind at the ears and above 70 it wants to lift my glasses and my lid

Someone wanted this pic. Clearview Gt Medium, light grey tint--Perfect. By the way, why does everyone list and inseam when choosing a windshield?  My knees aren't looking through it----the real distance of importance is the one from your butt to your eyes and depends on which seat you are using.

If you take two people that are 6'4" and one has a 32" inseam and the other has a 34" inseam, the one with the 34" inseam will have a shorter torso (2 more inches of their height is in their legs).  Therefore, the 34" inseam's eyesight would be approximately 2" lower than the same height person with a 32" inseam.... :confused5: :2vrolijk_21:

Indenial,

I was the one that had asked you to post a pic of the Clearview. It looks awesome. It sounds like that's the way to go. You seem to be happy with yours, and so does LarryB. Thanks for the pic. It helped me make my decision.
