There was some discussion in another thread about making the Goldwing more comfortable from a wind buffeting standpoint and I thought it would be beneficial to break it out into dedicated thread. It was suggested to change the windshield to a taller and wider windshield like the F4 Customs +4 (4 inches taller than stock) and to also install air wings under the mirrors. I've looked at the F4 web site and there are conflicting statements on that site regarding maintaining adjustability with the taller and wider shield. Does anyone know if there is any adjustability with the +4 shield. It probably doesn't matter to me because I would be looking through it anyway. Another shield option I am considering is the Clearview shield. The F4 shield is nearly $400. Clearview offers shields that are 3 inches wider and up to 5 inches taller and they state that the adjustability is maintained. They are priced at about $220. Would they work as well as the F4+4? Any other suggestions? Dennis

No no no, it isn't what you think - I don't owe Don $5 (or 10). I had 'the groan' for quite some time now. I tried lubing the shaft and dropping oil down the schrader valve to no avail. This morning I went out to the garage and there it was, a nice little puddle right in front of the rear tire - maybe 2 or 3 oz. So, I wiped its undercarriage down and got as much as I could off the floor (to try to avoid getting any oil on the tires when I pull out). Oddly enough, I don't really notice much of a difference in handling or ride - I can't wait to get a fresh one on there and go for a spin to see what I've been missing out on!! Now, the quest for a replacement and the same considerations that everyone has made that has had to replace it. I don't really want to give up the adjustability of the stock shock (or spend the money on a progressive one) but I also don't want to have to replace this s.o.b. again either. I guess I'm lucky enough that it happened now while I will be at home for a couple of weeks instead of out on the road somewhere. Anyways, thanks for listening to me complain. I'll pipe down now. :bawling:
