What Customers Are Saying About Our Harley Davidson Replacement Windshields:
I didn't hate the stock screen. However, the medium w/ vent improved things greatly over stock. Large would probably have been better @ highway speeds, but I didn't want to sacrifice wind flow around town...and like I said, I never hated the stock piece so wasn't looking for Gold Wing peace in the saddle.
I can ride helmet visor up, no problem to 60mph. Over 70, very mild buffeting depending on wind direction and speed. Much quieter than stock regardless of condition.
Recommended purchase for FXLRST.
After installation the windshield fit was poor. The product didn't fit well within the windshield fairing channel. The vent opening did not align well with the vent opening and the outside edges of the windshield did not follow the conures of the fairing.
The performance of the windshield was a huge improvement over stock. It considerably reduced the noise in my helmet and the little bit of extra width helped to get more of my shoulders into the pocket. At 5'11 the medium has the wind hitting right at the top of my visor which was an improvement over the large HD shield in my opinion.
I know Clearview Shields came out with a Gen 2 windshield very soon after the release of the original product that addressed the fitment issues. I recently sent them an email requesting a replacement an have not received a response.
I haven't stepped on the scales yet, but the shield has worked fantastically. I didn't think I'd prefer running with a windshield all the time but it's nice not having wind whipping around my glasses and trying to tear my hat off of my head, even when worn backward.
I didn't know about the "compact" or "full-size" brackets until I looked at Clearview's website. Notice the distance between the outer bolts on the cross-bar of the windshield. Mine were close, as shown in this listing so I ordered the 'compact' set. It fit without issue.
When the shield arrived, I went out to the shed to install it while keeping with CS's requirement of keeping the protective covering on it. I took a short ride that night and instantly noticed a difference. Riding with the Clearview Shield on my Springer has definitely left a different taste in my mouth! Count me as a satisfied customer!
