Yes, it is clear, it cleans easy. Now for the bad news. I just replaced my Tulsa with this F4+4 because of all the rave reviews on 1800riders.com. I was really expecting a fantastic windshield. My first ride wasa 2,000 mile trip. I wanted to send it back the first 100 miles. What is the MAIN reason for a windshield?? Shield the wind. This thing HAS THE AERODYNAMICS OF A PIECE OF PLYWOOD! Buffeting like I've never experienced before. My head is still vibrating. It is expensive, it DOES scratch, it really does not shed water like everyone says (acts very much like all other windshields in that regard). It's amazing how "Hype" and the "bandwagon" effect can sell products. My Tulsa was MUCH better. I'm selling this on Craig's List and going back to the TULSA Tall!! They have actually studied aerodynamics!! (BTW: you should know how to install a windshield on your own because - as with most manufacturers they have NO idea on how to write installation instructions!) |

I bought this windshield about a year ago. On a trip from coast to coast, it began to delaminate. Upon returning home, I called the factory and a new windshield was shipped within the hour. The clarity is the best I have found and I definitely would purchase another one. The factory service is excellent. |

IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS AND 35K MILES AND I STILL WOULD BUY ANOTHER IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO THIS ONE. YES THE VENT DID NOT FIT PERFECT AT FIRST BUT A LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS AND IT'S O.K. NOW. STILL GIVE IT 5 STARS. IT'S A GREAT HELP ON THE PASSENGER. |

Very nice product. No more caution getting on my GL1800 like the Tulsa Tall was. This windshield stands up straighter and I like a lot better. |

Bought the F4 -2" Shorty Sporty version and logged 16,000 miles the first year I had it. I Truely love this Windshield. I like the short version cause I like to look over the top but when the weather is cold, real windy, or rainy then I raise my shield all the way up which makes it maybe just a tad taller then what a stock shield would be in the normal lowered postion. After a year of use, it is still in excellent condition with NO swirl or scratch marks in it. Most of the time I'm very careful when cleaning but while on long hauls I have used the window squegee/scruber thing at the filling stations and with no harm to windshield I will also use windex or other glass cleaners and it doesn't hurt the finish either. Another thing is the amazing ability to shed water during raining weather. I think the price was a bit step but have been unhappy with other OEM or after market windshields, you treat them with kid gloves and still get swirl and scratch marks which makes it hard to see through while night driving and facing oncoming traffic lights, I don't have this problem as of yet with the F4. I give the product a 5 star rating for the product itself, overall I give it a 4 cause I thought the price is to high. I think more riders would buy them if they weren't so high priced. I know I sure like mine and brag it up all the time. Winger03 Illusion Blue and lots of chrome. |

I love this windshield. I have the 4" over with 55k miles on it(year and a half) and it still looks great. I coat it with rain-x about once a month and ride, ride, ride. the vent didn't fit right at first but it's fine now. If something happens to it, I will buy another one |

Not worth the money. First they shipped wrong windshield. I agree, not the last windshield for my wing. Vent is a cheap piece of #$*(). |

When i first received my F4+4 with vent, i was annoyed to see that the vent was loose. Really loose. How can something like that pass quality control??? So i played with the vent & took out both washers. Problem solved. In all fairness, F4's customer service is excellent. Once i fitted the shield, i understood why so many people love their F4. It helps eliminate the annoying buffeting for my S/O, reduced buffeting for me, looks fantastic and so far shows no signs of scratching or pitting. I have yet to ride in the rain or sandstorm - but i have noticed a fair amount of flex in strong winds. A good product, but i have a feeling that it will not be my last windshield for the wing... |

This is my 3rd review on this product. But it is the 1st since I installed the replacement sent to me in 12/07. 10 months and only 9,000 miles later, I have to give a very luke warm review. 1st, this DOES scratch. I have used only a soft CLEAN cloth (one I only use on the windscreen), Invisible Glass (pump spray recommended) and Plexis. I have a few scratches and scuffed areas. As many as my original windscreen that had 40,000 miles on it. Okay. I can live with a few. 2nd, I have a hundred minuscule pits, and I don't ride thru sandstorms, or on dusty roads. As many as my old windscreen. NOT visible in overhead sun, but when riding into the sun, it looks like a thousand pin points. Very irritating after only 10 months. In the sun, it smears and I have to use water or spit on it to get it clear. Probably where the scratches came from... The material is impossible to wipe clean if you use a polymer polish or wax such as `Liquid Glass' (made for show cars) which made my stock windshield absolutely clean and frictionless. Thus, I use the `Invisible Glass (available at Wal-Mart) suggested buy F-4. I had the same `loose vent' issue as others, but took the washers out, and put them on the outside. No offense, but it fit when shipped. It's not as if there is a mod for the bike. I gave it 2 stars because I do like the tiny bit of extra thickness. It lessens the wind buffeting. I very much wanted this product to be as good all I thought it would be. But for the price, I would recommend buying two regular windscreens. Maybe the next generation of scratch-resistant will fair better. I am sure with technology, Frank will produce one. I do give Frank kudos for replacing my 1st windscreen for the blue/red mottling I saw from the front in overhead light that that I thought was a flaw (it is normal). |

Received my windshield 4 weeks after ordering...It was the wrong one. Waited an additional 2 weeks for the right one. No velcro no plastic strips. My windshield is a +4 with vent. The vent did not fit properly and the knurled nuts that are molded into the plastic were cracked. The vent finally broke out completely. There are a multitude of cracks in the windshield around the vent opening. The silver lining in this is I spoke to F4 about the problem and they are sending a new windshield. If nothing else, they do stand behind their product. |

Since installing the w/s my wife likes not having the buffeting from the wind. Easy to clean and I am impressed with it. I bought the +4 w/vent. The black strip is starting to peel and have talked to F4 about that but have not received a replacement strip yet. When I received the w/s I had a problem with a loose vent. Had to remove two washers; one from each side but still came loose. Called F4 and they recommended to remove them. I removed from one side only and the vent has stayed tight since. It would be nice to have some shade at the bottom of w/s. F4 has been really good to work with. The reason for 4 stars is the strip only. Would have preferred to rate it at 4 1/2 stars for strip and 5 stars for w/s and customer support. |

Just installed this on my 06. Caught in the rain at highway speeds twice and it rolled right off. No fogging and the +2 w/s at full height kept my wife and I fairly dry except fot the arms. Doesn't seem to perform as well at speeds under 40mph. Does make a nice pocket to set in as the air rolls over you. I could see the rain drops reacting to the w/s about 8 to 10 inches in front of the bike. Stable at higher speeds, I've had the bike up 95mph with this and notice very little twisting. Will see how it hold up over time. |
