Hi everyone, If anyone out there placed a windshield order from Cee Bailey's please reconsider. I have been waiting for over 3 weeks for my order and finally I cancelled it and purchased it from 7Jurock.com. I received it 3 days after I placed my order and the price was LESS. They gave me personal telephone assistance with the installation and great service overall. Ask for Roy when you call and tell him I refered you for an additional discount. Good Riding!!!

Wow...  that reads like a spam message planted by a shill!  I just looked at the suggested website, and it appears they only offer strictly stock replacement windshields.  I was thinking of ordering a taller wider windshield from Clearview but the height I wanted would have cost an extra $30 because they don't offer a 22" windshield in the width I needed.

I ordered recently, around the same time as the above poster claimed to have ordered, and got my windshield in 9 days...  about the time the Cee Bailey's site claimed it would take.  Not bad, considering they MAKE them when you order them.  As a maker of aircraft windshields, Cee Baileys makes a winshield that is half again thicker than the original Honda windshield, which seemed very flimsy by comparison as I was switching them out.  I am very pleased, and this windshield will allow me to ride through more of the winter while the roads are clear.  Here is a picture of my Helix with the Cee Bailey's windshield after returning from a run to a nearby town for shop inventory:

I got a CEE Bailey shield for my motorcycle. Tinted green and it was promptly made and delivered. Very happy with them.

I received mine the other day, I am very pleased with it. it is thicker than my OEM one, as it has been wrtten in the forum, just slide up the rubber mirror cover by rolling the botttom up. remove the 2 10mm bolts on either side with a socket wrench, thats it. put it back in reverse. I did put a small anount of two sided foam tape at the base to hold it, and a small amount of black vinyl caulk to replace the rubber foam gasket. whole thing tookten minutes. now my trusty 86 looks great. now to find that white pearl paint, and figure out how to get off the blue reflective take the first owner put on it. It belonged to the LAPD for two months in '86. Didn't look like a motorcycle, so they sold it. I have 18k on it over 22 years. just put a set of Piaggio mags on it. looks great.

I got my cee bailey's 22 inch a few days ago and installed it. Had to trim some of the black plastic piece that goes over the bottom of the windshield to make it fit. Unfortunetly 22 inches was a bad size for me so im going to try to return it or exchange it if i can. the top is right in my line of sight and im still getting turbulence from the top and sizes. Anybody recommend a particular size to make the ride as quiet as possible? I rode around with NO windshield and it was the most quiet riding experience i've had. With the two windshield sizes i've tried all i get is helmet rumble which is killing my ears.
