I just recieved a new windshield from a company callhttp://www.f4customs.com/. The winshield is a polycarbonate and coated with what they call SPEEDGLASS comes in different heights and either clear or smoke. I got a 9 1/2" to try out in smoke.  The coolest thing about the windshield is that it doesn't require anything other than spray cleaner and a "paper towel" per their advertising to clean it.  They even send me a small piece of the material and steel wool to test how it works.  The uncoated side immediately scratched with the steel wool, while the coated side showed ZERO scratches from the steel wool. They sale the windshields for $150, and if it is as good as they say it will definately be worth it.  I will test ride it for a few weeks and come back with my ride report.  I also talked with the owner who's name is Don and told him about this site and he said he could work us a deal if anybody wanted to order from him.  He also make windshields for Road Kings and Goldwings. Another thing that I liked is that all the windshields are Made in the USA.

If you call F4Customs.com tell Don you heard about his windshields from "Mark from Hawaii"

Looks like a good product. I did not see any recurves though or am I missing something?

Trapperdog,

They do not do recurve, but clearview can't handle steelwool. but they do offer taller windshields than I ordered.  I actually like to get some wind since I ride in a very warm climate.

07, (you should have made that 007 ) Aloha. The steelwool thing is impressive! That is why I was hoping they made a recurve. I run an 8" recurve here in Ca. in the summer which allows enough wind for me, but we ride alot in 30 to 50 degree weather in winter and my eyes freeze ( half helmet). We have 6 or so shields in the garage, just looking for the perfect all year one that does not show much wear and tear. Keep us posted on how you like the new shield!  Roger

Looks great! The smoke is a perfect choice against the black. ( you know someone here is going to mention about you "needing" the chrome windshield trim) I will be interested to here how it holds up to the elements, (rocks, sand, birds......)  Roger

Trapperdog,

I am sure it will hold up a lot better than an acrylic windshield.  Especially if it catches a rock.  I have had acrylic windshields crack and shatter from rocks in the past.  I will give a full ride report once I get some miles on this windshield.

Trapperdog.

I personally don't want the chrome windshield trim, I don't like putting chrome over the painted parts.
