But:

"You are embarking on an eye-opening look at the latest in motorcycle windshield technology. WindVest is different from the traditional windshield that may come standard on your motorcycle. It has a unique design with a wind combination that deflects the wind blast from your face and chest area and makes your ride more comfortable and less tiring. As we always say, arrive ready to party! "

Really??!!!

$400??? For that money I'd expect a wiper ... no 2 wipers! A de-mister and auto tint function when riding into direct sunlight...

This is nothing new.

If some people are willing to pay a thousand bucks for a wheel, a 400 dollar windshield is right up their alley.

It is the customer who has lost his mind.

I looked again at the date of your post...You're jumpin' on this now?

Those "WindVests" have been around for a long time (probably similarly priced)
