I installed the F4 Scratch Resistant SpeedGlass from Wingstuff on my 95 Aspy and frankly, I could not be happier with the product.

I have no windwings on my bike at all so there is some buffeting even though I went with the +2 version but it's not bad at all. The main plus is clarity, it's incredibly scratch resistant and flawless as far as bend distortion. As I've written before, they actually recommend using Windex and paper towels to clean this shield. Of course, being a fanatical clear view kind of guy, I would never do this as eventually I would think the ammonia has to take a toll on the shield's super hard coating they use. On their website they set up a wiper system with the wiper wrapped with steel wool. They ran that wiper for ten hours before it wore through the coating. I clean mine with nothing but clear water on a clean rag (mostly bugs only)and dry it with a terrycloth towell. I use Mothers plastic polish only to add the "RainX effect" and it works great. I can't imagine owning any other windshield after owning this one. My next hope is that Kuryakyn comes out with that second windshield (tall spoiler) that goes behind the rider on the trunk for the 1500's. Currently it's only available for the 1800 but in watching the videos and reading the reviews, it's pretty much the slickest thing invented for the wing as far as wind buffeting reduction to date. It sure looks weird but I've read that it's buffet reduction is nothing short of amazing. When I ride I notice most of the wind hitting me is hitting me in the back as the wind curls around in a circle when returning to the bike. I wonder if I could modify my luggage rack to support a copy of that second windshield? Hmmmmm, I've got plexiglass and tools, maybe I'll experiment a bit!
Respectfully,
Ed
