F4 20" Tinted Windshield
This is my 3rd F4 windshield, so I already knew the quality of the product, before ordering. It was very easy to install, and I can run it about 2" lower than the OEM windshield. I'm very happy with the purchase. |

Great windshield, better customer service
I bought the 20 inch clear recurve late in December 2019 and I have had the opportunity to use it in various hot and cold conditions as well as a full day of driving rain in Death Valley. I noticed the comfort afforded by the additional width made riding much more comfortable. I was afraid it would really inhibit cooling air but it still allows air to hit my jacket arm vents. I am 6' 2" and I usually took my stock windscreen up about 2 inches to make it comfortable. I ordered the 20" because I do not like the look of tall windscreens and I thought the recurve would allow me to run the 20" lower than stock. I find the recurve did not make any difference and I still raised the screen about 2". My passenger said she did not notice any difference.I did not notice any of the outer edge problems others have reported. When I got my windshield there was small imperfection in the upper left of the screen. It was bad enough to distort when I looked through the area. I called the day after delivery directly to F4 expecting to be given a hard time. I talked to a very nice lady who resolved my issue in under 5 minutes. She told me a new windscreen would be shipped out immediately with a return shipping label. She also said she would have the replacement windshield unwrapped and inspected prior to shipping. I told her I had already mounted the F4 and asked if I could use it until the replacement came. She said that was no problem and to enjoy. It turned out they had gone to backorder so I used the first screen for about a month until my new one arrived. I changed it, sent it back with a thank you, and that was it. That is what customer service should look like. Things happen but it is how the company responds that makes the difference.I found the windshield to be of the highest quality. It mounted easy, is optically very clear (even though the recurve), gives better side protection, was well finished, is easy to clean, and sheds water like it has rainex on it. |

24 inch clear review
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 ! |

Not good at shedding water :(
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. |

Made a bigger difference than I expected
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. |

16 inch F4 windshield
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. |

Excellent protection
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. |

Easy Install and no distortion
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. |

Great Wind Deflection
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. |

F4 16" Windshield
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. |

Does the job
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. |

F4 windshield review for 2018 Goldwing
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. |
