Yep. Mark is the Manager, Craig is the owner.

So, as mentioned in my other posting, I'm gonna need a new windscreen.  Apparently at 6'3", my head is right in the wind buffeting zone.  I think a windscreen that's a couple of inches taller would do the trick, but I have no idea what height exactly to look for.

How tall are our stock shorty windshields?  I'd like to keep a shorter look, but have it just tall enough to get my big noggin' out of the buffer zone.

The stock shorty windshields are 6" tall, I ordered a 12" smoked from Ceebaily and its about an inch too tall for what I want, sending it back to be re-cut, I'm 6'5" there is a set of 4 windshields for sale on Ebay from an old strat owner for 175-200 for the set. thats not a bad deal considering I paid $100.00 for my one I think the set has a 6, 8, and 10"

Hey Look,guys, don't overlook Clearview Windshields! 

http://www.clearviewshields.com/shop/product.php?id=305

Owner is Craig, Mark is the manager, and thier product has the curve in the top, so you can keep the lower look by getting the six, eight or even 9.5 inch tinted with the "recurve"...

Check them out.  I love mine!

I actually have both the 8 dark tint, and 10 light tint, both with the recurve.  I prefer the look of my Clearview dark 8 inch with recurve.  Performance is outstanding compared to the straight, clear stocker...   8)

I've had a Clearview 8" dark tint shield on order since April 6th.  I'm getting antsy waiting. The stock shield is way too short.

I see their service is still top notch! I hope you get your shield before the riding season is over.   :-\

One would think after all the screwing around I had to do with my experience  they would try extra hard to make it right to a fellow forum member. Clearly this company does not care about service.  I am truly sorry they are yanking you around !  This should not be taking this long!

Not sure what takes so long!  They really should give you an idea of delievery date at purchase time...  Their product is great, and I will buy from them again, if I need another windshield for this bike.

Sorry it is taking so long.  Mine was a few weeks too.

Actually, I think they do tell you it will be several weeks for delivery.  I too have a clearview shield and really like it.  I don't remember the size off hand, but that is an individual thing they tell you how to measure the correct height for you on their website.  Mine is not nearly as tall as the windshield was on my 06 strat (I now have a deluxe), but it does a better job of directing wind over my head even though I look over it much easier than before.  The recurve actually works.  I would recommend Clearview to anyone, but you do have to have patience because it does take a while.

Mine was the clear view 8 and it works great.

I also have the 8" unit and dig it.
Even a 10" would be great.

Clearview must be taking steps to do better. They didnt take longer than they indicated and the email w tracking number helped to track and expect when it would be at my door. It was packed good too.
