A couple of weeks ago, I bought a 15 inch recurve windshield for my '15 Tri Glide from F4 Customs. Bought it over the phone, and Mr. Frank picked up on the first ring. He was extremely friendly and answered all my questions...even the goofy ones.
I plan on making a YouTube video about my purchase. So far, I can tell you that much of what they say about the shield is true. I've used regular window cleaner and paper towels to clean it, and no scratches. That's much better than what happened to another brand of shield I've owned. I didn't know you had to use nothing but micro fiber cloth to clean it with, and when I used a paper towel, I had about a million fine little scratches all over it. There was $150 down the tubes.
Also true about their optically clear claim. Another shield (one of many I've owned), had a recurve. Only problem with it was when I looked through the recurve part of the shield, everything looked warped. Not so with my new F4.
I'm very happy with my purchase. If I decide to go back to a 10 inch shield, I'll be buying from F4 Customs again.

Well I have several LRS shields. I am currently running a 10 inch light tint Ultra Wide and really like it. The 10 inch flat top I was running also worked well. I have not found any distortion in it when I bend over a little and look through the shield instead of over it. As far as cleaning with paper towels etc, I can't imagine doing that with any brand shield. When I get home from a ride I take a medium size micro fiber towel, soak it in hot water and drape it over the windshield. 3 or 4 minutes later the bugs wipe off gently with no scratches. I then wipe it dry and use Plexus or Novus on it. When on the road I keep a couple of towels to use in the same manner. I recently bought three different styles on sale at 70% off.
It will be interesting to see if you notice any MPG difference with the 15 inch shield, but may not be enough to notice.

Hi All,
I'm 5.21 feet, which motorcycle windshield do you suggest for a short rider like me.
Thanks.
I am running the LRS 7 inch light tint windshield,so far i do like it.
We just installed a 6" flat top and windshield bags, I went for a short test ride for the shorter windshield and was surprised it seems not much different than the 9" flat top I removed. A longer ride will be need to complete the evaluation and the Ok from the passenger it is good to keep on. I picked it up last fall at LRS's garage sale really inexpensively. I'm 5'8" Loved the 9" windshields but the 6" may work as well. ride safely fred
