Default Gradient Windshield

I spoke to someone at your company about 6 or 7 months ago about the possibility of a dark bottom to clear top gradient windshield. The person I talk to was resently hired to a management position but I don't recall the name.

He stated that this was something that was in the works and that it should be released in the near future.

I still think this is a outstanding idea, I have one of your medimum tint recurves on my bike currently and it is an outstanding windshield. However, what I have noticed is either in the dark or the rain (lack of light) I loose visability below the rim of the windshield.

A clear windshield would probably be best but they just look like ca ca. My windshield bag would be visable from the front and just ruin the lines of the bike.

Hence, a gradient windsheild, Good visability no mater what the conditions.

I really think this could be a top notch seller for you company and the gradient could be applied to your intire windshield line.

Best Wishes.

I have to admit, although I'd have yet another to add to my (6?) LRS shields, I'd jump on a 9" gradient.

Personally, I'd go from dark to light as opposed to clear -- But that's just me. I suppose if there was a "stock" gradient over 12" that wound up basically clear that would be somewhere in the "light" area around 9" and in the "medium" area around 6" (where you're pretty much guaranteed to be looking over it anyway), that'd be pretty sweet...

Put me on the beta test team if you ever want to try it out. I rather liked my old --- uh --- I think it's a Memphis Shades gradient shield. Pretty slick, although I don't think the gradient went high enough (only around 4-5" on a 12" shield).
