F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG20048

Looks great!
| We received our new windshield (F4 +4 without vent) for our '08 GL1800 trike. Between the video and the printed instructions, the install was fairly easy. Dropped the rubber washers into the bike after removing the wrong bolts by the side mirrors. Retrieving them was successful and the project continued. The next little mis-step was trying to lock in position 4 since this is the +4 and will not be adjusted. You have to PUSH the center slider DOWM and it will click. Then you move it up one click at a time and you are good to finish the install. We had left the plastic the windshield was sealed in on the windshield until we were finished (removing only what we needed to at the bottom). When we stripped off the plastic, we were amazed to see how clear it was...almost invisible. Then we noticed a small bubble at the top edge of the windshield. It was a defect in the acrylic. I called F4 and left a message. I got a call back in less than 15 minutes. I told them the problem and a new windshield is on the way to us. The removal and install the second time will be a snap! Nice folks to talk to and no hassle for replacement. They gave me a choice of a partial refund or replacement. I wanted it to be perfect. A return label will come with the new one and we will be fine. We also installed the Utopia backrest, but that's another review. |

Looks awesome, feels great!
| We received the backrest this morning and got right to work on the bike. Jack took off the armrests and removed the seat. I got out the drill and tape measure and read the instructions. I marked the location for the bottom underside bracket and drilled the holes. After watching the video, it still was tough to make that first cut in the seat. After using several knives, we got the bar through. The holes I drilled were in the right spot and the rest was easy. We got everything back together and took it for a ride. We also installed a new F4+4 windshield for our GL1800, but that's another review. The backrest is great! I like the removable pouch. It doesn't interfere with my getting on or off the bike. It is a winner! |
