| Nice compact unit, but it blew the fuse in my fairing power socket after less than 1 minute of use (I kinda figured that would happen, but I was in a parking lot and was 2 pressed for time). So use the permanent connection or alligator clips, or you will be takining the fairing pocket out to replace the inline fuse of your power socket. |

Just an update on this ShowChrome windshield since I have put about 2000 miles on it since installed 1 month ago: This windshield scratches easily, and yes, I always cleaned with a clean micro-fiber cloth and proper solution.... still lots of hair-line scratches with even the best attempt to clean properly. The black painted trim at the bottom of the windshield (only 1/2" visible at the lowest setting and 4" at highest setting) is being scratched away in the middle and the outsides from being raised and lowered with just over 1 month of use. So now I have to decide how long I can put up with the black being scratched away before I pull the whole thing off and remove all of the black paint and just make it all clear and polish the hair-lines out. The performance/buffeting reduction is great, but the easy scratching, along with the black area being scratched away, is definitely a drawback. Maybe this windshield could have benefitted from a strip of felt or fabric being attached to the bike where the windshield slides against it????????? Considering the price and the reduced buffeting, I still like this product but have to drop to 3 stars for the lack of R&D by ShowChrome. |

Although it is plastic, 5 stars for the fit and looks. Measures 8" across, so bigger than I expected. Accents the trunk area well in conjunction with the chrome Kury LED trunk light moldings on my 08' Nice piece! |
|
Now this definately gets 5 stars, STURDY METAL PIECE that is worth the money and the fit is perfect. Will see how the finish holds up based on the dirt and grime it will expectedly encounter. Very happy with this well-priced, quality, piece of wing-bling! |
|
4 stars as it is just plastic and not sure how well it will stay adhered to the bike as the curvature does not fit exactly ..... the ends of the trim have to be pushed down to make contact with the surface of the bike, so hoping it will stay attached. Would have given 5 stars if this were a metal piece, and could better justify the price, but happy with the looks. |
| Purchased this P cord for the wife's 279 headset; Great price, considering I had to pay nearly $29 more for the Z cord to connect my 629 Elite headset ...... whats up with that??????? |
| Big, sturdy, good construction, looks great. Will definitely fill a cargo gap on a ride. Can't wait to put it to full use when I head out on some longer x-country runs. The rain cover is integrated in its own compartment and is permanently attached by a cord making it unlikely that you will ever lose it due to wind or inattention. |
| Got these on the recommendation of a friend. Quality appears to be great if you're going to base it on weight. Feel heavy duty and love the look. A little vague on the instructions and missed a few ques here and there but got them on. It's great being able to rotate the position of your legs on a long run. Adjustable to your liking, too. |

Just finished installing these. Let me say, they'll hurt your eyeballs if you look directly in them. I'll have to do a night run, for a true darkness test. As for the quality of the item, it's very nice. Nice machine work, well thought out. The install was really straight forward although I was missing a couple of pieces and a quick call to E/C and they're on the way to me. I substituted the missing pieces 'till I get them. They even give you a cool little soldering gun in the kit for "Burning" holes in the gussets for spring retension. Once you do the install, they're perfectly centered in the opening of the cowl. You can aim them up or down for slight adjustment if need, right from the front of the bike. As far as the kit, and quality and customer service, I'd do it again in a heart beat. Scott |
| I did not install them myself. had it done by a pro. I love the look as with most Kuryakan stuff. Had a hard time finding a position that allowed me to place my feet on them unless legs are still bent, but I can extend my leg over them pretty comfortably and it helps. Afterall, if you have long legs, the Wing does not allow for a long comfortable ride unless you can move your legs around and change positions occasionally. these allow that, so I gave them 4 Stars |
| UPDATE: Two things to add since my review on the F4 +4 below. 1) Got caught in a drizzle a few days ago and glad to report that the rain water just beaded up and rolled off as advertised. 2) Wrote to F4 Customs in regard to the small scratches in the upper left corner of the windshield and if there was any way to remove them or polish them out. Dave, one of the sons and VP of the company got back to me on the same day stating that there is a glass coating on the windshield and the scratches cannot be removed. He offered complete replacement of the windshield at no charge or a fair rebate on the current windshield. As the scratches were out of the way and a minor annoyance only not detracting from the visibility to any degree, I decided that it was worth the compensation for the imperfections over removal and re-install of another windshield. Dave went on further to say that if I ever had any concerns or problems with the F4 to contact him for follow up. I have to say that F4 Customs has great customer service and I would recommend their product and their service. |
| Just installed the windshield and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I took about 45 min to an hour to do the install. I think watching the install video on YouTube several times before changing the windshield made a big difference. After installing I sat on the bike and could immediately see the difference. Planning on trying it out on the road this weekend and I will post my results after my ride. |
