F4 Tinted Windshield Review

[Cougar]

Well gang I got the first one on the Trike and I might say I love it.

Its a little darker then the clearview and it almost has a polaroid effect.

 

It really cuts the glare down like I thought it would from having the Clearview

Tint in the past. I myself will not go back to a clear. From my riding today it

really cut the glare down vers. the clear. even from the chrome around my

tank and other stuff.

 

Here are some pics of the clearview and the F4 Tint difference.

Also notice the outer edge if the shot how it cuts the glare from

the tree leaves with the sunlight hitting them. Above my awesome 1966 Beetle

 

I have been bugging Don about wanting the Tinted version for about a year now

and he came through.

 

I also have to let him know that the TWO screen outside mounting holes are to far out

I had to use my Dremal to make it match the holes that was pretty easy to do.

 

Here are some pics. some won't like but I do !

THANKS F4,

I cringed cleaning the very first time using WINDEX and Bounty Paper Towels

Like Don told me to do. Don also says you can even use the blue gas station towels as well.

I have been so used to using Novus Cleaner. The Windex works GREAT !!

 

I did notice how smooth it was when wiping off the windex. and no strekes at all.

 

Enjoy,

Jeff

Got my 14.5 tinted F-4 w/o vent in Aug. Got it installed right before a trip and have over 6000 miles with it. I agree and love the tint. I had the oversized f-4 on for the past 4+ years. These are fantastic and yes cleaning is very easy. I use whatever towels the station supplies, wet the first one with the stations wash to clean, then dry with a couple more towels. Works great.

I really liked the oversized shield except it kills fuel mileage. Since I normally ride alone decided to go smaller. Fuel mileage went up 4-5 miles per gallon, sometimes more depending on speed.

Don and everyone at F-4 are always very helpful and is a great supplier. In my opinion have the best product out there. You won't regret this purchase.

Your pictures have pretty much convinced me Jeff!! Can't wait for your night time driving review!!

OK , I took it yesterday Morn about 2AM to work

I take Very Rural Roads to work and I must be able to

see all the critters and such...

 

This tent is 2X's Darker then the Clearview Tint that most of us have been using .

 

I would say it is OK with me , If I look over the shield I would say

that I could see about 100 feet or less then the clear. we are talking

NO city lights etc. However when I got into the City it was just fine It also

REALLY helped on the cars coming towards me with there lights. I did also

notice the street lamps in the city where also filter by the F4 for less glare.

 

This is with my bights on most of the way. I will next time take some

Half and Half pics looking through it in a VERY dark area.

 

Otherwise So far I love it. 11 Stars. and the customer support is fast as well.

 

Don says that the F4 Basically has RAINX built into there shields and to make it factory

fresh again you just use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel and its back to normal for the rain shedding.

 

I would swear that this Tint has some type of polaroid filtering in it. maybe Don can tell use what it is?

 

Jay your clearview has been shipped see PM.
