I'm thinking about ordering a Clarity air cleaner and derby cover. Does anyone have feedback? Does the window look dirty after first ride? I'm afraid it might look bad after use.

I have the air cleaner. I have had it on for almost a year now, and did not store my bike at all (the weather didn't get that bad). In that year I have pulled the clear part off once to clean it. Still looks great. Not bad at all IMO for something that looks that cool. I plan on getting the derby and cam cover when ever I feel like going outside and pulling some leaves off of the money tree I have in my back yard.

Is it easy to get the plastic off for cleaning? I have the nostalgic cam over, but am considering the clear derby and AC.

I have all 3. On my bike for about a year now and no issues, and I have not had a need to clean anything yet.

I see that you're the 2 to 2 big radius! Finally someone can give me an answer! i'm running the same exhaust and have not been able to get a straight answer. I have a fatboy with the same exhaust...so you dont have any issues with the heat from the exhaust discoloring the cam cover? Thanks Chris

When I asked this question they were still a bit new at the time to know, but my concerns are the same. One thing I can say however, is they offer repair kits to replace JUST the polycarbonate windows now. They also offer rocker cover too now.

It's very easy to get the plastic off of the AC not sure about the others.

All 3? they have 6 different covers from valve covers to tranny covers. Looks cool but a bit much for my taste. Nice to look at though.
