 Have a interstate and am looking at replacement windshields looking for which brand has proven to be the best.

Clearview, Cee Bailey (acrylic), and F4 Customs (lexan) (the video where they scrub it with steel wool is impressive)(they also have a nice video of an interstate shield swap).

I just added two new Clearviews to my interstates.  Very happy. 

Five inches wider (to replicate my OE interstate shield wings).  One stock height (15.5), and one an inch under (14.5).

Good company, and great customer service.

Gustufson windshields I have one it's a recurve and I love it.

I have two interstate with showChrome windshields. For me they work well as they are two inches taller than stock and four inches winder on each side. I'm 6'2" and ride year round so the extra width helps keep hands warmer. I can look thru the shield or over it when I need to.

CeeBailey for summer (2" lower than stock) and Clearview for spring and fall (2" higher and wider than stock) CeeBailey in particular offered great service and shipping.

Tx blue. If you're anywhere near Houston or Dallas plenty of good folks to meet and checkout windshields

Go over to the Texas board. There are a lot of members in the Austin and San Antonio area also.

Here is a shot of my Gustofson, I really like with the re=curve on this sheild. I also have a Cee Baileys 9 inch tinted and stock height.

I'm glad you showed the Gustofson, I checked their site and could not find a word or pic about a shield for IS (or any Valk).

Which reminds me, the Clearview guys asked I send them pics of their shields mounted.

I have a ShowChrome like Mr. Bubbles.  It's higher and wider than most, which makes it great for cold weather riding.  I'm only 5' 9", so I end up looking through it instead of over it.  Not a problem, had it for 5 seasons, just keep it clean with a good "plastic" cleaner.

That's a great looking windshield.  Is it the 12 or 18" height?

I want to say 12", I went with the opaque and look over the top. I may order a tinted one so I can see thru it.
