F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800

I ordered the +4 model. I'm 6-1, but my upper torso is long, equivalent to about a 6-4 counterpart. Took a little less than 2 hours to install it with the toughest part scraping the old tape off, which also took up most of the time. The video instructions were pretty much right on except I had a little velcro left over which I used on the ridges below the top panel to pad the windshield a bit. Without it, it would have been slightly loose on the edges. Install the velcro tape carefully as you will see it after installation. The F4 does is not tinted at the bottom as the stock windshield is. After install, took the Wing out for a 2 hour ride to the coast and back and found that wind buffeting was significantly reduced to the driver. My open face helmet was basically clear of any wind buffeting and I could hear the Wing's stereo speakers clearer and louder than before with the wind noise interference. In fact, I now noticed a wind drag on my hands which wasn't as noticeable before because the entire area was subjected to wind currents. My only complaint so about the F4 is that after install I noticed 2 parallel scratches along the very top left corner when riding in just the right sun exposure. I know I didn't scratch the windshield during install because 1) I was very careful and 2) I left the protective cling plastic on the upper portion of the windshield and didn't remove it until after install. A minor annoyance buying something new, but fortunately does not interfere with any important driving visibility. It's just not worth complaining about it. Had it been in the center of the windshield, that would have been a different story. One concern I have is will the windshield scratch? F4 advertises it with a windshield wiper brushing steel wool over the finish without marring the polycarbonate lexan and taking repeated hits with a large mallet. Yet they warn you not to clean the windshield with a towel that you used on the body of the bike or drop on the ground/floor as it could pick up debris and scratch the polycarbonate finish. We'll see how this stands up to time. Will report back especially if the F4 shows scratches easily. |

just installed the F4+4 and was disappointed to find out it does NOT adjust as I am sure they said it WAS adjustable in the video. I like to put the shield down in the summer, as I am only 5'7". Very easy to install while watching video on youtube. Gave a 3 star due to misleading representation of adjustablility. |

I'm only 5'9" and my wife is 5'3". We have a custom Corbin seat that sits lower than oem. I wanted a little more height but I really wanted to have some options to adjust the height. I was very glad to read that the tall 4" above stock option was NOT able to adjust. It is always in the tall position. I ordered the 2" and it works very well. All the way down for just me and then elevated with my wife. The velcro strip is visible so be very careful installing it!! This is a great product and the owner and his wife couldn't be nicer or more helpful. We are very happy! |

I bought the 4+ with a vent. It is amazing! The vent fits perfectly and the windshield is amazing! It takes almost all of the buffeting off the rider and the passenger. Probably 97% of wind buffeting is gone. I didn't get the velcro that goes along the bottom of the dash with my windshield. Called Wingstuff and it was in the mail that day. I got 2 days later. Wingstuff is absoluetly the BEST place I have ever purchased from. I will sing your praises to everyone who will listen. Thanks for your attention to the buyers, you guys are really the best. |

I ordered the +2 with the vent installed and replaced my 2007 windshield. There is absolutely no comparrison in the two. This is windshield is without equal in both quality and fit. I didn't experiance any problems putting it on and it is solid as a rock. Night driving is improved 1000%, you simply won't believe what you haven't been seeing. This is a product I highly recommend for every motorcycle out there. I will never ride without this windshield again. Buy it, you WILL see the difference immediately and you'll not be sorry. Install is relativelyeasy but takes a little time so don't get in a hurry, read the instruction carefully and you'll be fine. One tip however, you must replace the "tape" under the front nose cowl with the soft side velcro strips provided. I recommend buying a foot or so or additional velcro pieces so you can put more on than than provide to protect the screen inside the cowl. I did. |

I installed the F4+4 and have riden 11,000+ miles. I really like everything about this windshield except one thing. Moisture crawls up the windshield and waits for a bump and then drops all over your instrument panel. I switched to a windbender this week and will provide an update after I have time to properly review. I will keep the F4+4 just in case. I am 6'2" by the way. This info is very important when reading reviews (especially about tall windshields). |

I appreciate the fact that you can actually clear the bugs off the windshield at a gas station using the free wiper fluid and a standard paper towel. However, road debris i.e. small stones will and does chip the windshield. After a year I have a half a dozen of them and there is really nothing you can do to avoid them. I all likelihood you'll have to replace the unit after a couple of years anyhow. Would you be better off replacing a cheaper unit more often. Just a thought |

A fantastic addition to my GL 1800!!!!! The clarity is beyond reproach....If you are getting ready to replace your windshield look no further, go with an F4!!! Yes you are going to pay a bit more but, this is most likely the last windshield you'll buy for your Wing!!!!!! Drove in the rain and had no problems with visability.....Great product made by great people!!!! If I could give it a 10 star rating I would!!!!!!!!! |

Got this F4 windshield (the plus 2-inch version, without vent)to replace the old scratched-up original OEM shield. What a fantastic improvement!! Looking thru the new F4 is like day and night. The clarity is really super. Only used water and mild car wash solution to clean it so far and no scratches what-so-ever. Right now to me this is an improvement that is definitely worth the high cost. If you are thinking about (or need to) replacing that original windshield, I highly recommend this one. |

I wish F4 would make their windshields look a little more like the OEM’s windshield with some dark accent at the bottom. Make sure you do a perfect job when putting on the fuzzy half of the Velcro tape on your bike. This line across the front of your bike stands out more than anything else on the bike. This Velcro looks okay, but the bike no longer has that factory look anymore. Thank you Timmy for the recommendation to watch F4’s installation video on YouTube. That made installing it a snap. |

I bought the 4" oversize with the vent. It to was loose. However I liked the stock vent better and with patience and a good file you can make it fit. I love this windshield I use rainX all the time on it and it never clouds up and the water just flies off. |

I forgot to mention that the new Florida Sunpass sticker works with this windshield even though the pass instructions say it wont work on motorcycles. I've been using mine over a year with no problems |
