The OEM wipers ruin the screen. Aftermarket one-wipe manual wipers are a good compromise between wiping off some rain while not ruining the screen.

 Hi Used scotch guard poly sheeting on windshield when it gets too scratched, which has not yet happened, I have it removed and replaced. Could do it myself but prefer a professional.

As long as it can be used with an after-market windshield like my Tulsa which supersedes what an OEM Goldwing windshield is capable of.

I've just read that review here Steve, thanks... http://www.goldwingfacts.com/f4customwindshield.htm Is the F4 much thicker than stock and does it fit in the windshield trim rubber properly?

One of the local GWRRA chapter guys has an F4 Customs screen fitted to his gl1500 Aspencade with a manual screen wiper fitted about two years. As far as I can tell it was holding up well and not scratched and the claims of tough seem to be accurate. Next time I see this GL I will take some photos.

I use the anti-fog rain-off chemicals available in some stores, but I'm not quite happy with their low-speed water-removing capacity. Do the wipers work well, or is it waste of money? Last edited on Mon Nov 9th, 2009 08:47 pm by UglyJazz |

I would like to try one of those Le Wipes ,I think just a flick or two of the blade in some of the very hard rains I have ridden thru would make me feel a lot better.

The perfect windshield wiper. Rain does not bother it, I can see over it, Fog does not stop it, a big truck throwing mud and water does not bother it. And it just looks cool.  KitAttachment: 012.jpg (Downloaded 169 times)

Interesting thread. There are a lot of things sold and added to motorcycles that at best are questionable and in a lot of cases actually not legal. By law I am required to see the road fifty feet in front of me over the windshield. Personally I don't mind because I set my bikes up that way before I knew it was law. Simple thing but "safety" comes before everything else for me. I actually like to be able to see the road when it is foggy or raining and dark. You might want to look into the legal angle where you ride. Might suprise you. Oh yeah. I also get real tired of getting on bikes with the tall windhields and hitting my helmet or sometimes my face on the top edge. Food for thought. B

A wiper would be very useful. I don't like tall windshields either and like to see over mine.
