What Customers Are Saying About Indian Motorcycle Replacement Windshields:
Although the windshield I got is labeled, "medium", it's their largest size, unless they make something custom for you, (and I believe they will, if you ask). Sitting on the bike, using their formula, at 5' 8", this is the perfect height for looking, "over" the windshield. It's about 2" higher than my 21" Indian windshield. I got the dark gray one with the recurve.
The windshield did exactly what I wanted! It got the wind out of my face and quieted my ride. My wife frequently rides with me and she said she doesn't have to fight wind buffeting any longer. One of our regular rides we do is through farm land. Lots of bugs! Typically, my helmet and shield would have a nice selection of bugs on it after a round trip. On our first trip out there with this windshield, I didn't have ONE BUG on my helmet or face shield! In that respect, I would give it 5 stars.
The reason I gave it 4 stars is because of handling. It's not horrible but I lost some of the stability I gained when I put on the lowers with the Indian windshield. A little bit of that shakiness returned and the bike seems blown around a little more. It could very well be because of the extended surface area. If there was a way I could, "fine-tune" that out, by adjusting the lowers up or down, it would be perfect. Perhaps Clearview have a suggestion.
All in all, it was a great purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. Oh, one last thing, the dark gray looks GREAT on the burgundy metallic Scout. I've seen a clear one on another bike, I I think this one looks far better.
After putting on the Clearview lowers, it was a different bike! It's now stable on the road and I'm much less nervous when passing big rigs. It is, without a doubt, the best money you can spend on your Scout if you have a windshield. It firmly plants the front end on the road, that's the only way I can describe it.
