F4 Scratch Resistant Windshields for 2018 Gold Wing

| OEM windshield for the tour is great, but I wanted a lower shield. The 16" F4 does an excellent job of keeping the wind more on my chest than my face in the full down position, and when fully raised keeps the air just over my helmet with no turbulence (I am 5' 10"). The extra width keeps the air off of my shoulders. It is a little noisier than the OEM when fully raised; but I will take the trade off for the unrestricted vision of the road due to the shorter height of the shield. |

| I'm 6'4" and needed better wind protection. Installed the 20" recurve for my bike. Liked it so much that I bought a 16" recurve for my wife's non-Tour. |

| I installed a 20 inch clear F4 in about twenty minutes, including cleaning up and installing the protectors for the winglets. I previously installed an F4 on my 2010 Goldwing. The visual clarity, scratch resistance and easy cleaning is easily worth the cost. |

| The windshield is much better than the original OEM. Went with the 20 inch lightly tinted. The wind deflection is great. Only giving 4 stars due to the windshield having a few very faint blemishes that are not noticable until you look closely but for the price you would expect perfection. Also feel they could have done a better job on the edges. I would have expected a more finished edge. |

| Have to say I'm a bit disappointed with this. As with the VStream I went for the 16" version given my lack of vertical stature. I feel that the screen is well over priced for what it is. It feels a bit flimsy compered to the VStream and original and is nowhere near as well made. The original and VStream both have beautifilly finished edges all round. The F4 is very badly finished around the edges, seemingly just rough cut with a jigsaw with no attempt to finish it off properly. It looked horrible on the bike until I carefully cleaned up all of the edges. They seem to make much of the optical qualities of the polycarbonate used and scratch resistant coating, I suppose to justify the price. Well I am blessed with very good eyesight and can see no obviously visual difference in optical quality between this and the other two screens. Also I've had no scratching issues with the other two screens. All that said it does work quite well on the bike. Even in its lowest position it offers a bit more protection and slightly less wind noise than the VStream with less wind on the arms so it is better for, colder and wet weather. I just can't see how they can charge so much more for it than I paid for the VStream. If I knew when I ordered it what I know now I think I'd have checked out cheaper options first. |

| My passenger was getting a lot of helmet buffeting with the stock windshield, so I installed the tall F4. Passenger buffeting decreased markedly and when I ride solo I can lower it to where I can look over it. Installation was quick. |

| Easy change-out and nice protection. Purchased tinted 20 inch and it totally serves the purpose. I am 6 ft tall and this works perfect to eliminate wind noise. would definitely recommend. Tint is not to dark and is easy to see through. Have not taken a night ride yet to check night time vision. |

| 1-The edges of the windshield seem to have been cut off by the saw. so not smooth.(serrated)(edges of the windshield is very poor ) 2-windshield did not sit well.I guess a little thin compared to the original. I put additional washer .3) wrote to customer service but didn't get an answer. 4) If you have the original touring windshield, you do not need to change. 5) Very easy to clean. 6) functionally very good ( clear vision) |

I very rarely give 5 star reviews for anything, but these shields are great. Had on on my '03 also. They really do shed rain, and they really do hold up their clarity over the years. I'm not in any way associated with F4. |

RE: 20" Clear I just got this installed and went out for a ride in a rare 50 degree Iowa January day. I couldn't believe the difference it made over the factory shield. My shoulders didn't get the cold air across them, and I was surprised that it virtually eliminated the air movement around my face and neck. Even with it 2-3 inches below my eye sight, it still kept the wind off my neck. I'm 6' and this shield is just the right height. I can raise it to the full height and look thru just under the recurve. If I was much taller, I'd look right thru the recurve and would probably need the taller one. For me, the shorter one wouldn't work, if I wanted it fully extended, and be looking under the recurve. I chose the clear, just so it would match my clear wind wings and the side panels next to the mirrors. |

| Quality is great and the view through the screen is as well. It offers improved wind protection for both the rider and passenger over the standard Wing screen. The only knock I have on this product is that with the extra few inches of height comes a slight decrease in gas mileage and at speed the bike loses a bit of gusto. |
