Default Ebay Windshields

Has anyone used the windshields from ebay vendor Road6customs? How is the fit and finish on them. I bought one from a different vendor and it scratched real easy and had a rough cut-out like it was cut with a bandsaw. Can't remember who I got it from or what material it was made of. Road6 are supposed to be unbreakable polycarbonate. Are they easily scratched?
Anybody found a cure to keep windshield bags on batwing fairings from tearing up the inside of the shield.

I too am curious about the quality of these shields. I took my stock shield on my E. Glide and cut it down to 8" and rode a while. It was great! I got to wondering about a 6". So I cut it down and I got too much wind. I now need to buy a smoke 8". I hate to waste the money on a cheap easy to scratch shield and then have to buy one from HD dealer. Just buy one time from dealer??? Undecided!!

I've bought several in different sizes and shades. Nothing wrong with them at all.

I'd go with Fast Aire (www.fastaire.com) they're only a couple of bucks more than e-bay, they have an awesome finish, don't seem to scratch easy, quick shipping, and great selection.

Bought one from Fast Aire on ebay, 8" Dark Smoke. Looks awsome. Has held up for a couple years. A few scratches, but overall, I'm very satisfied and will but another in the future. Made from Aerospace Grade impact resistant poly-resin acrylic according to the site.

I bought one of the Road6 shields. It's fine. I can't fathom paying the money people pay for these Kloxck Werks, etc. If I got real real real close, yeah, it may be cut a little rough, but you gotta squint toi see it.

Ask Clearview about their blems... you will never see it, and the product is fantastic. I have 3 of them-- love them all.

I've got several Clearviews and they've all been great. And, I've never had a problem with buffeting, although I have both the air baffle and fork lowers installed.
