What do you think of the Clearview?



First, the windshield must be tall enough to create an airflow over the riders head. That sounds easy until you realize that no one seems to know exactly how tall the windshield should be to accomplish this. One reason is that the windshield's effectiveness is degraded by any updraft
from below. In addition, if the height of the windshield is marginal, its effectiveness will be further degraded by the rider's helmet. Simply put, protrusion of the helmet into the airstream causes the frontal blast to move downward (in the case of the Roadster, into the riders eyes). Assuming the rider wears a 3/4 open face helmet with no face shield (worse-case scenario), a windshield at least 18" tall will be needed in order to move the airstream above the helmet. If sporty looks aren't essential, 20-22" is even better, and I would say essential if you'll frequently have a passenger. In any event, the taller the windshield, the more room for error you'll have in the other areas of the design.




Other members here have successfully used the Laminar Lip to extend the height of their windshield. I believe this is the model they ordered..
