| I purchased the 24 inch non recurve model windshield.Im 6 foot tall and it does a great job keeping wind off my shoulders that the stock shield missed.I can still see over the shield in the low position and have lots of protection up if the need arises.The clarity and quality is excellent,cant ask for a better shield thank you ! |

| I am overall not pleased with this windscreen. It is way over priced. I purchased the Tall (24", clear) and it is so much better than the stock 2019 Tour screen. It does keep the wind out of my face better and does reduce the flow across my shoulders. It was extremely easy to install (less than 30 minutes). I also purchased the F4 Cleaner and use it weekly to clean the screen. HOWEVER... I waited to review this after I had a chance to ride in the rain (live in the Phoenix Valley). I am very disappointed in the water shedding ability f this item. I have to hit at east 60 MPH to get the rain to actually bead and flow of the shield. So beware potential buyer. I have had Tulsa shields on my past Goldwings ('97 & '10) and I really miss being able to purchase one for this bike. I wqill try Plexus claner/polish next to see if the water shedding ability is in creased. |

| Packing was solid and secure, installation was a breeze as well. The new windshield (I got the 20" tinted) looks great, the pics don't really give it justice. It is darker than it appears in pics. The airflow is much better, and my passenger said she felt a huge difference in air that hit her. Also, the clarity is impressive. It seems far more clear than the factory one, even though this one is tinted. Also, cleaning the F4 is sooooooo much easier. So why the 4 star rating? There were two reasons: 1) there were some tiny nicks in the windshield when I opened it. I only see them when I'm standing next to the bike and looking for them, but still kinda disappointing for a $400 windshield. 2) the optical accuracy seems to be much ado about nothing. There is a very obvious distortion at the top where the recurve is, even though everything I read about the F4 said that wasn't the case. There is also some distortion lower in the middle. Since I generally look over the windshield these don't bother me as much, but the factory windshield was far more optically accurate. My point about the F4 being a far more optically clear windshield stands though. It is far easier to see through the F4 than stock, even when both are freshly cleaned. |

| 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. |
