Tall windshield users - do you look over or through?
Written by wynndungey on 3/2/2012 at 05:11 am

I used to have the Saeng edging with my tall Hondaline windshield. While it
helped me a little, it helped my pillion a lot. She hasn't ridden enough
behind the Clearview to give me a report. Personally, I love the clearview
windshield. Much better than the Hondaline.
