Unfogging the windshield

[cruiserfan]

Down here in Mickey Mouse land, we have a problem with humidity. As such, sometimes when I leave for work at o dark thirty in the morning, I hit areas on the road where my windshield goes completely white and is fogged over. Any ideas or suggestions? I do wax it with Honda spray polish but that does not seem the make any difference. Also, I don't have a windshield vent like some bikes I have seen.

The vent don't help. Hope you get an answere cause it was killing me this morning.

I have this problem a lot... Only solution I've found is looking over the windshield. I also have a lot of problems with condensation collecting on the outside of the windshield when riding in fog or misting rain... Wish there was a good solution.

Don't have one, I just keep an old diaper with me and wipe it frequently. I would be courious if anyone has used this. It looked interesting.

Old style shaving cream may do the trick. It's a tip for keeping a bathroom mirror from fogging. Worth a try.

try a gun shop they sell a cloth for gunscopes 100% silicone on a rag just wipe it on it will stop the fog good for your glasses too

Just how old is that diaper and what does it have in it?

Inquireing minds need to know.

I was browsing the forums at my grandpa's house, and he suggested WD-40. He said to spray it on lightly on the windshield (whichever side fogs up) and let sit for a few seconds, then wipe off completely. He said it was something to try, so you might give it a shot!

Ronnie,

 

My experience is that any form of wax will only contribute to fogging. I bought a bottle of Kleer Vu Anti-Fog Cleaner that is supposed to work pretty good and can be used on plastic. In looking at their web site it looks like MSN gave this product a test and gave it a good review on face shields. Heck if it works on a plastic face shield, it should work on a windshield?

Hope this helps,

The only real solution is to get a shorter windshield so you can look over it when it does fog. Then you have to deal with the wind buffeting your head. Clearview makes a pretty good windshield. I have one on my 99 and the way it's shaped it sheds the FOG and rain off pretty good but you need to be going over 45 before it starts to clear. It does clear much better than the stock windshield.
