This is the first prototype windshield from Clearview. This one is 19-1/4 high which is +3 and it's +1" on each side.

Today I received the same from Clearview. Looking forward to testdrive it in the next days. What is your conclusion so far? Was it a good decision to change it?
 
I will install this with my next oil change.Ive been using K&P fo 25+years.
I have the same one on my 2017 Indian that I had on my 2014 indian(bought in 2013 95,000 on her when I got my 17)
I also have one on my Jeep Gladiator.

I like it a lot, wish it was about 1/2 inch shorter. I'm going to install the Memphis Shades fork lowers this weekend and this setup should be just about perfect, for me anyway.

Just tested it by 140 km/h. It's perfect, I love it. I am 182cm (6ft) and it helps me to sit straight and not like a bag ;-). It takes a while to get used to the new visibility, but no problems with my height. Was a good decision to get it.

Did the final dial in of the suspension. It is now as good as it gets I think. Ordered $100 worth of air filter, Motul 15w50, and 70w80 GL5 gear oil for the 600 mile service. Much cheaper than the insane prices BMW wants and I have double checked... it is the exact same thing.

I wonder if those can be installed on top of BMW's leg shields/lower fairings...

I don't see how, unless the area you are wanting to mount has the same radius, they are designed to mount to the OEM radius of the crash bars, and they fit there tightly.
 
It’s Laconia Bike Week so the wife and I headed over today. didn’t do anything other than drive through but we did a few of our local favorite roads, grabbed some tacos and just putied around. We rode 7 hours today. The Bagger in stock form..7 hours is about all I can take versus the GS where I can do a 15 hour day no problem. But that’s still a great day-trip bike.

600 Mile Running-In Service Complete:

Took About 2 hours (add 45 minutes for first timer reading every instruction 3 times). I ordered a special oil filter wrench since I didn’t have any of my 3 other BMW oil filter wrenches that fit :( I put the new one on and hand tightened it but it’s not torqued to spec so I ordered the correct wrench for $33 and will torque it down before riding.
