    That is way cool, where did you get the Lexan from and how thick was it?

    Lexan is an excellent choice in the type of material for the windshield.

    Great job

    The side of my windshield was broke, my wife wanted me to have a new windshield NOW. We was going riding.

    I really like F4 customs windshields.

    The long Ride shields, I know a lot of folks with them.
    Its all about what you want to pay for them and what you want them to do.
    I like to look threw a shield Not over it.

    Boy his prices are low $70 for a windshield
    that's half everyone else even a third when
    compared to some..

    I have a Windvest 15 on the RG in dark smoke.
    Going to see about trading it for a 16, new
    RG seat is an inch higher than the old RG...
