windshield help, clearview for me
Hi Charles,
I bought a new shield for the Alaska trip I just returned from. I
went w/ Clearview (+9 inches from stock I believe, thick for
strength, clear.) It took a beating from rocks, road grime, rain,
wind, and millions of unlucky bugs - and performed great. I'm 5'6" w/
a 32-33 inch inseam, and the screen directs air flow just over my
helmet. I believe my previous screen was a Rifle tinted screen,
taller than stock - which didn't work for me (directed air right at
eye level), and was thinner material.
Clearview (http://www.clearviewshields.com/) also has an excellent
return policy.
Stuart Heaslet's article influenced my decision:

BTW - You'll want to replace the Kawi shield bolts (see Heaslet's
article) - one of mine fell off somewhere in Canada. Gotta love
zipties.
Happy riding,
Cookie

In fact, I usually only need about
12 inches of pavement closest to the curb.
Wow what narrow shoulders.
Teasing aside. Love bikes of the pedal type too but knees won't and
don't like doing it anymore. I always give bicycles all the room
possible and wave at them also.
