I only expect a shield to last 2-3 riding seasons before it is scratched enough to replace. Next will be a replacement shield from Memphis Shades or Long Rider.

With the rocks and sand being kicked up on the roads up here not much will last to long. Hell 75-100 bucks every 2-3 years aint to bad.

But a lot of people with high end cars liek to install the clear bras. They do hold up against rocks and other debris from the road. It doesn't fade or cloud up either. And if it does you can peel it off and re apply. Just a thought. But you are right 75-100 is not bad at all.
