Kinda wonder what wipers do to the rather soft windshield material?

They do end up scratching the windshield.

I've seen some of the Japanese GL1500s that

come witht the wiper. Even though the wiper rubber

seems to be real soft you end up with a scuffed windshield,

and that's despite the Honda shield having a hard coatong.

I suppose you would need a couple of spare shields over a few

years period. I think it's worth having a wiper in countries

where it rains almost every time you take your bike out.

No matter what product you use to clean a screen

it is 99% of the time not the product used that scratches your screen

. It is the little deposits of grit thrown up by the vehicle in

front that stick to your screen. You move these about when

cleaning and they leave tiny scratches on the soft surface.

I suspect any wiper blade would have the same effect.

I have yet to see a product that will erradicate this problem

completely so we just have to do our best to minimise the

problem. I can't see the wiper stopping scratches unless

you spray loads of water on at the same time. I suspect

any water bottle with it would be quite small?

Its not a car, its a motorcycle. Adjust your shield

so that you look over the top of it.

wexman :XPlease resize any pictures so that we dont haveto

scroll over and back to read a post.

I think wexman has just linked to this picture on another

site Redwing, if you click th eproperties on the picture

you can see the original site where the picture is,

so wexman wouldn't have control over its size.

But don't let it happen again wexman!

I'm wondering though if this wiper can work effectively.

Apart from worries about maybe scratching the screen

, I doubt if it wipes the top part of it and will leave a

gap at the top, the gap that you really want to have clear.

Goldwinger, you are right. These guys keep

thinking it's a cage their driving. We will teach

wexman when he gets back to Ireland, how to

resize a picture. All other members please

use half the page when typing your mesg on this topic.

I know my lamps are very poor wexman but im not

totally blind yet. :?Now where are those bloody keys. :shock:.

I still think that heavy rain would cause more visibility problems as the rain just pelts your helmet visor. Having a clear windshield in this instance is a waste. A wiper for helmets would be a better bet, surely some enterprising person can come up with that in the 21st Century!

Unless you live where it's torrential rain all the time, that wiper is a waste of cash. €700 would probably buy a nice set of heated grips, vest and a few more useful items.

You guys with the late models that have reverse can justride backwards so the rain stays out of your faces.

Great solution. Now all we need are eyes in the back of our heads!

I think a wiper would be very useful at times.

I don't see us using it at the first sign of rain,

but on occassions when it gets heavy

a wiper would be of more use than a CD player!

Onlydownside is the wiper does seem a bit pricy.

Glad you brought this up wexman. :clapper:
