F4 windshield performance

I got a 14 1/2" clear, no vent a few weeks ago and loving it so far. Didn't know about the cleaner and I'm not paying that kind of shipping either.

Yes the windshield acts as claimed in low to medium rain. It beads up and blow off at slow at 35mph

Use alcohol to rejuvenate the rain x effect, then windex for cleaning ,and you will be fine

I had mine in the rain sat and sun, it did great

I went for a ride today and stopped at Shadetree power sports. Guy I know works there. He had some new stuff in and a helmet faceshield in scratchy condition.

He started to work on in while we were bsing.

Wha LA!

The stuff he was using did a remarkable job!!!!

 

It was called NOVUS. Anyhow it was so impressive I bought some. Like $12 for step 1&2.

 

I put it on right in the parking lot. Amazing stuff!

Says it prevents fog and repels a rain. I'll vouch for that it was a downpour going home. I spent the next two hours doing all my plastic stuff.

 

For now I am going to wait on a new screen mines back to like new.

Got my windshield, haven't installed it yet. Are there any tricks to the install? Anyhoo, I got a call from Don who wanted to make sure that I received it, and told me that since it was shipped from the factory he'd ship out a bottle of cleaner separately, at no charge.

What great customer service.

So, I gotta take a day and install the windshield, the Rivco center stand that I also recently received, and the ignition switch bypass. I'll see if I can get the underside of the passenger footrests polished while I'm at it, and I should be good to go.

Any input on how to do the windshield install would be appreciated.

Thanks.

the only "TRICK" is when removing the lower windshield chrome trim from the fairing, "Upwards" means at a slight angle parallel to the windshield not "straight" up. I like having a magnetic bowl close by to catch all the hardware. An extra set of hand for the first bolt going in and the last bolt coming out is also nice. Don't tighten the 6 bolts holding the shield in till all of them are started.

And DO NOT use any Loctite on any of those screws on the fairing.

not sure if they have fixed the two end hole locations yet.

you might have to dermal the two end bolt holes for the shield

to fit, it is not much if you have to do it.

enjoy.
