VStream Quantum Hard Coated Windshield for GL1800

Not recommended
Our friends at WingStuff carry top notch items. Also others have found this windshield to meet their expectations. I feel that I am an average wing rider, 6' tall, 200lbs, on a 2003. However this product falls below standards expected and is not worth your consideration and not worth purchasing. I don't have enough space to explain in detail but suffice to say: It does not install properly, it does not allow the windshield to be elevated to the top position which 'unlocks' the centre w/s mechanism allowing you to drop the w/s back down to the lowest setting and raise it again as required. It is much narrower than my OEM shield. It whistles (the vent?) at 45-65 mph and that is very irritating & a deal breaker right there. It is much louder behind it (5-8 decibels based on my android phone app). I tested it over 100 miles (and return also) at 3 height settings. Also the vent is in your line of sight and the wind blast hits my face(dangerous for small stones/sand that can get thru the vent). My OEM shield/vent hits me in my stomach area, ideal on a hot day, open your jacket and get some relief from the heat. I broke my centre mechanism trying to figure this shield out and fortunately was able to fix it (it is a $200 part!). In all I wasted over 6+ hours to fix my ratcheting mechanism and had to remove most of the front fairing (ugh the dead bugs!). When WingStuff says customer service is everything, they MEAN it. They were awesome to deal with returning it and that's why I continue to buy ALL my accessories, parts, oil, etc. ONLY from WingStuff who stand behind what they sell. I am sorry, but I had high expectations for this shield and it was a great disappointment and a surprise that it is worse than the OEM shield. |

love it!
Just upgraded to this from a stock 1800 windshield. Love it, huge improvement from stock. Much less wind buffeting at high speeds, and waaaay quietier. Really, better than I had expected. I am 6'2", with a long torso, so I sit high. With the windshield fully lowered, its great for most riding. Put it all the way up and its like riding in a car! Quiet, smooth, I can now hear my stereo at high speeds, and I can still see over the top.I used to get neck strain from wind buffeting my helmet... no more! :) Just came back from a 800 mile highway trip and am totally happy! Highly recommended to tall guys! Putting the oem windshield up for sale now... :) |

60k mi & still looks almost new!
I bought my GL1800NAVCOM new in May '11, w/ this shield & vent installed. Now have 60k mi & no issues or problems, even w/ the shield at max height point. I ride mod to aggressive & at consistent high cruise speeds in all kinds of weather. Even w/ significant head or cross winds the shield handles firm, w/ slight vibration; nothing atypical of any shield. I'm 5'10" w/ sitting height of 33-34", if that helps. great shield! I also highly recommend their Zip Coat, like Rain-X for plastics- no more smearing & obscured vision in rain! also works fantastic on the face shields! |

Great Windshield
I was surprised the difference this windshield makes. Love it. I have no complaints. Have driven about 1000 miles with it, still working on the correct height for my wife and I. She hasn't noticed a difference yet. Installing was easy and shipping was right on time. UPS dropped it off at my neighbors house. Funny story I was in the garage preparing my bike for the new windshield as I heard the UPS truck pulling away. I tried to wave her down but she wasn't even looking. I walked over to my neighbors house and there was the box.. Hard to find good help anymore.. |

made the right move
After some research as to which replacement wind screen to pick .I tried this one have been very happy with it easy to clean does a better job at blocking the wind& the rain seems to not stick either,Did have some trouble replacing the vent ,I was lucky it didnt break Overall it seems more rigid. |

The windshield fits the bike like the stock windshield but is a little harder to adjust. Others have said it flexes quite a bit but I haven't seen that,its no worst then the stock one for sure. The buffeting is much better then the stock shield and somewhat quieter.I look over it by 2-3 inches,I'm 6'0 and my so is 5'0.I will recommend this shield with the understanding its not a cure all. |

Agree with other reviews. Maybe for short riders, but you click it up 2 clicks, for taller riders, (I'm 6'1"), and it shakes so bad people look at you on the road. Much noisier than the Memphis it was supposed to replace, has Tulsa feel, like it's in your face because of the angle. SO said she feels less wind on her shoulders, so I guess there is a trade off. Has a very cheap look and feel. |

Got one of these and hate it. Now it would be great for shorter riders. But for a tall one like myself it is terrible. At highway speeds mine wobbled so bad your eyes get funny. The buffeting when on a busy road, beat the crap out of me. After 100 miles, pulled into a parking lot and took it off. |

I have to agree with the other mike I like the looks but not much better wind protection maybe for a shorter rider. |

Quantum Windshield, see my 5/9/10 picture. I purchased this in January 09’. I like the stock windshield for its looks only. I found that it created a back draft that gave me a lot of neck pain after only 2 hours of riding and made it difficult to keep my back warm in cool weather. So I looked for a while and took a chance on this windshield. I thought it looked a little odd but liked it once I put it on. The curve (inside radius of the shield) on it was a little larger than the body so you have to manipulate it a little during assembly. It can be raised and lowered but is a little more difficult than the stock one. It didn’t completely eliminate the back draft but it help considerably. My neck doesn’t start to bother me until I have gone past 10 hours of riding. It also creates a bigger air pocket than the stock one and hearing the radio is about the same. Overall I really like this wind shield and would recommend it to anyone. Chris |
