Windshield

[lwinders]

Does anyone have a windshield for an '83 VR? Mine has a film on it that I have not been able to get off. I've tried everything short of trying to sand and repolish. Before I attempt this, I thought I should see if I can find another windshield just in case I mess mine up beyond repair.

I am not sure about the 83 factory shield, but on my 88 factory shield there is an anti scratch coating that did get hazy over time.

The only way I was able to get back to a clear shield was to wet sand the coating off and polish the shield.

While this did give me a nice clear new looking shield. once the coating was gone it would scratch if you looked at it wrong. Even the impact of a bigger bug would leave a permanent mark. You will be re-polishing it often. I finally just bought a new shield.

 

Now IF I can get F4 to start making a 1st gen shield.........
