Clearview is one of the only manufacturers out there (in the US anyway) that is producing aftermarket shields for the Trophy.

They come in a number of different sizes from stock to touring. They have "cat's eye" reliefs cut in them to reduce back pressure behind the shield and they are very well made.

They will exchange them up to 30 days if they don't work for you; as long as you don't remove the protective film that they are shipped in.

I ordered a 22 1/2" shield and after mounting it, found that it came to exactly my eye level. They issued me a return order and are sipping me a larger shield - no problem.

Bill, does any appreciable amount of water come through the "cat's eyes" in the rain, or does the wind flow carry it over the shield?

Thanks: Jim

Thanks Bill, I got an email from the company today with a couple of pics to show me what they look like, giving them my sizes to see what size they recommend.

After looking at the prices for the Clearview screens you really have to justify the benefit against cost over the old screen.
Have to say got a little confused as to why all the vents were neccesary and what function they actually perform .
In the USA they are about half the price :???:

A shield acts like an airplane wing in a sence. There is turbulance built up behind the shield as air hits in the front. The cutouts are there to reduce the back pressure on the driver side of the shield.
