Default Windshield differences?

Besides the price, could someone tell me what the difference is between the Heritage Re-Curve and the Heritage Elite Re-Curve??? Thanks

The Heritage Elite recurve is made from polycarbonate. The Heritage shield is impact modified acrylic. You can google the materials to research the advantages/disadvantages.


LRS tends to be a little slow in getting back to emails, but they have always answered mine.

So no difference in size or shape just material their made from? Thanks that what I needed to know. I already have the heritage windshield, works great! The only think I would change is the top curve, wish it was widowed at the top instead of egg shaped! Works better than the stock one I replaced though.

Yes, it's my understanding that they are the same dimensions. Only thing that differs is the material they are made from.

They never got back to me either. I'm getting a windshield somewhere else.

I tried to order from them a while back and after 3 emails went unanswered, I got what I needed from Memphis shades. No regrets at all. MS makes good stuff.
