V Stream Quantun Hard coated windshield
| Love the windshield. The slant means less bugs splattering it ip, however there is more wind buffering. Quite disappointed that after only a month of ownership there are hairline cracks developing on the edge. |

VStream Quantum windshield for GL1800 is fabulous
| I put this windshield on my 2002 GL1800 which came with a short aftermarket windshield. It's like riding in an envelope of smooth air. No buffeting from the wind. The vent adds a nice air flow of cool air to the driver when wanted. Excellent product. |

Do not recommend this product for gen2 GL1800's
| I've had this shield on 2 previous gen1 GL1800's - so obvious that I like the shield - at 5'6" I find it quieter than other shields and only had minimal issues with previous installs and minimal issues with raising & lowering. Now, I have a 2017 and the install today was utter failure of the product - it is not designed for my 2017 Goldwing. Repeating what many others here noted, had to bend & manipulate the shield to get the guide tracks to align. Once all installed the shield was so bound up that it would never move. After 3 tries I had to figure out what had changed. I discovered 2 things, that combined together, prevent the shield from installing & functioning correctly. A) the shield is overall wider than stock at the bottom - the dash plate has 2 vertical/outboard guides that keep the windshield moving vertically - the v-stream is wider than the guides and anchors down on top of them with enough friction to halt windshield adjustment. When the shield is raised to the highest point - it is above these guides & they act as a fixed stop when trying to lower it back down. B) the guide slots cut into the shield itself are about 1/4" farther out toward the mirrors than the stock shield- the screws/guide plates can still be installed, but then the sliding puck inside the dash is what gets bound up when trying to adjust the shield up & down - this compounds the difficulty of adjustment. Lastly, it is accepted that the vent is difficult to install (but possible) due to the different curvature of the shield... I scratched the shield attempting install, so now own it & the shield will not fit my bike. I cannot recommend this shield for the 2nd generation 1800's. |

Looks good but not sure yet.
| I just installed it on my 09 GL1800. Everything went together ok, not smooth. Had to "bend" the edges down to align the brackets on the edge. Once all the brackets and screws were back in it was very hard to slide up and down (this was before I put the front back together) so I figured I had put something together wrong although I couldn't see how, things only go together one way. After loosening the screws and brackets and checking they were not catching someplace I tightened them back down and still very difficult to adjust. After spending an hour trying to figure out why I saw it. Because it angles back further than the stock shield it drags on the dash. I haven't ridden with it yet so we will see but I'm not sure I like it rubbing the dash. |

100k mi+ & still going strong
| my V-stream has 7 yrs & 100k mi+ now on a 2010 GW. just returned from 9k mi AK trip. The top is starting to craze now, but overall very good shape for the mileage. One reviewer mentioned the rainbow colors he sees thru the shield- he must be wearing polarized sunglasses as this is called the Newton Ring effect- most contoured coated plastic optics will exhibit this effect. I will be ordering a new V-Stream, so cannot comment on ease of installation, etc. vey good product. |

VStream Quantum for GL1800

I purchased this windshield to replace my stock windshield that had developed numerous scratches over the years. I wasn't disappointed. For me, it was an easy install. Took my time and didn't rush it. Installed in less than an hour. I love the shape and the way it channels the wind to each side instead of over my head. It's contoured to fit a little farther back, which I have no problem with. I adjusted the height the way I wanted it and the windshield has been an excellent addition for me. Quality is about the best I have found. Also bought a new air vent to go along with it. Quality of the air vent is just as good or better than the OEM vent. I would rate this windshield very high for fitment, quality and longevity. |

No polite way to say it, this thing sucks!
| I was so excited to get this windshield and put it on my 2003 GoldWing. It installed easily. The first thing I noticed was how far back it tilts on the bike. In fact, the first couple times I got on the bike I hit the top edge of the windshield with my helmet, which never happened with the stock shield. Then I took it for a ride. I was getting buffeted so badly, and it was so noisy, I figured that I just had to adjust it to find the sweet spot. Well now, with over 2000 miles and after having tried every height position possible, I have come to realize that I need to stop blaming the rider/installer, and start blaming the lousy product. This is a poorly designed product which is several times worse than the stock windshield at reducing air flow and reducing noise. It just plain sucks. I'm in the process of shopping for another brand right now. If you want this one for half price, let me know and it's yours. |

I'm not sold on it
| I replaced my stock 2004 very scratched shield with the VStream this week. I like the look on the bike. It gives it a more sporty look. I have only rode 100 miles or so. I can't say that I notice a big difference about the wind and actually the wind from the sides seems worse. I'm 5'9 and the vent view/ placement problem I have not noticed. HOWEVER the windshield is optically strange. It distorts around the vent and some at the sides. Below the vent you get a Star Trek warp speed look. I'm a bit bothered but trying to get used to it. My stock vent fit fine but the vent is a pain in the butt anyway. It is thicker and fights being bent around the mounting points. Closing the windshield locks are scary tight. I always run it full up so its not a problem for me. One of the main problems that I give it a 3 Star rating is the fit of the rubber grommet from the fairing. It just don't fit well at all. The sharp curves of the shield leave big gaps. I'm posting pictures of this on my photos . Bottom line is I'm not sold on it and may call Wingstuff about a return. I'll update soon. |
