F4 windshield performance

[Cougar]

Jay, Its yours. I just have to get to the UPS place I am pretty rural

and we have a store that has pick up about 7 miles away. and they

don't charge like the UPS store does

 

OK guys I will take the TINT one down in the Box it came in

and get the pricing. The one for you Jay will most likely be shipped

to in the F4 box after I get it next well.

 

Will give both of you guys the details maybe SAT aft.

 

The TENTED one I had the longest and there are a few surface

scratches but not bad. the CLEAR is only about 1 year old and I think

only as 2 small light scratches in it.

 

I have always only used Novus on both Shields as well.

 

The F4 I will have to get used to using Windex and paper towels I just will cringe when I first do that

to a new windshield

I will take photos of all 3 soon to show here so you guys can see the diff

on the tinting. I hope its close to what Clearview has.

 

Again, thanks to Clearview for many years of a great affordable windshield.

The Rain shedding on the F4 is great if you keep the windshield clean. Here is what we recommend to enhance the rain shedding:

Take a clean paper towel and use rubbing alcohol and clean both sides very well. This will take all of the road grime and any other cleaners off that you might have used. After this just use any glass cleaner and paper towels and it will shed rain great.

Thanks for your comments.

I love my F4 on my Venture,,, but I do not see any mystical water propelling properties.

When it rains, the windshield gets wet. At speed, it is still wet. Had the F4 over a year.

 

I have a Clearview on my RSTD. It gets wet too.

 

Oh, and they both fog in fog.

 

I do not see a "clear" advantage for how either handles water. Neither sheets water while riding in the rain, or through fog.

 

I did buy the F4 cleaner at time of sale. It cleans and also is good on salads.

(kidding, but it does have a vinegar smell.)

 

I may try Rain-x. I use Rain-x premix (orange) in my car wiper bag and it is GREAT.

But have not tried it on the F4.

The F4 is now available in tinted.

 

Don, I am still waiting for the Tint version for the RSV to come out soon.

we talked a couple months ago .

Jeff,

 

Thanks again, I really like the shield, takes a lot of the cold wind off my hands. Now how to get even with ya

[Cougar]

Glad it went to a good home !

Just clean the F4 with Alcohol and paper towels and the rain shedding will be fine. Road grime and debris gets built up and this causes the shield not to shed rain as well as when it was new.

Don I never received that cleaning solution you where going to send out

for me to try.

[Flyinfool]

I still wish that F4 could be talked into making a shield for the 1st gens.

 

Maybe they only do slow bikes.......

Or maybe they only build windshields for bikes that can get out of the garage without breaking down!

[Cougar]

Got them DON !! Thanks so much !

Loving the windshield !!

[f4customs]

You already know how I feel

[IronMike]

You already know how I feel

Yea, instead of a wind vent it could be a bug vent. I'm with you on that.

I can understand the tinted ones scratching more just because the way tint is added.

So I guess I will go Naked, no vent no tint. Hardly ever what I want is cheaper, here is a new one on me.

 

I live close to the place, I am wondering if they will let me pick it up direct. Only dealer close is an HD shop I don't go in those places they all make offers on my bike and get into my riding time.

Not sure about the Tint scratching more? never heard that. I do have the TINT and no scratches yet :-).. However it is much darker then the Clearview. so keep that in mind.

so far mine is scratch free and I am loving it. the cleaning is so much better when only using Windex now. I also am trying out the F4 Cleaning product and it restores the RainX feature that the windshield has. Good luck on what you decide.

 

If you can go to F4 I would look at both to see if the TINT will be OK for you.

Well Well Well-- LOOKY there, that is my Tinted Shield on there site now cool !

[uncledj]

Just ordered a clear 17 1/2 " for my 06 Black Cherry.

Went back to the site to order a bottle of cleaner, and shipping for the $10 bottle of cleaner came up at $27....lol...

With tax, total order cost of $39.

I sent 'em an e-mail. I figure it must be a glitch of some sort.

I'd like to get some mfr. recommended cleaner, but that shipping cost is a bit nuts.

Can't wait for the new F4.

Wow, that was a quick response. Within an hour of sending them an e-mail, I got this response :

Yes this is in our system and we are working on it. There will be one included with your order at no charge.

Don Frank

Great customer service.

Thanks Don
