Clearview windshield for Vaquero
Just received my Clearview windshield and took it for a ride. Wanted to help spread the good word and show some good pictures. I'm 100% satisfied with this thing. This is the "small" version. I'm 5'11'', with mustang seat, and with my normal riding posture.. I think I slouch some.. its right at nose level. I don't get any wind at all. Its perfect. In fact I can sit up very straight and don't really get any wind in my eyes until i get my chin up above the edge. Also.. spend the money and get the vent. It lets just enough air through to be a nice breeze.

I have the same one on my Vaquero and love it. My wife bought it for a Christmas present the year I got the bike. I think that was the first mod that was done. Still love it.

I'm gonna order a clearview as well with the vent... I like the smoked better. I smoke spay painted the inside of a clear stock 14" windshield then clear lacquered it. it will do, til I get the clearview ordered

Be aware or careful of how high the recurve part of the wind screen is. I bought one that was taller and I had the reflection of the chrome from the handlebars in my line of sight in the recurve area. It really interfered with my vision of the road in front of me. It was too tall. So i bought a shorter one and I love it with the vent.

I'm looking over the top of it, so I hope I will not have an issue. Thanks for the heads up though. I will look out for it.

I usually give my shield a light blowing with my air compressor before I wipe it to prevent dust scratching the surface . My bike usually gets very dusty where I am .
Lucas is much like a protective sealer and you'll find when it rains the water will bead off quite easily . A couple of my friends are now using it as well. I carry a small spray bottle in my saddle bag for quick cleaning . I hate bug splatter in my view , or on my glasses . |

I bought the same windshield with vent for my Vaquero. It is the best windshield I ever had on any bike I have ever owned. It is like setting in a pocket. I can hear my music better. The vent is great on hot days.
