I have a 2010 RKC and need a new shield. I have decided to go with LRS but need some opinions on clear versus light tint. I ride during the day light. I am 5' 9" and plan on the 16" version. Currently I have a clear HD cut down to 17" and it is good for visibility but does buffet some. I would probably purchase the recurve in hopes it helps. Thoughts appreciated

Ditto on the comments about light tint not being an issue, and also I found the recurve to be a big improvement over the stock shield. Excellent product and a very reasonable price when you catch a sale.

Disagree. I clean mine with Original Biker Spirits almost exclusively with no issues.

This fogging issue is with regard to the LRS Elite Road King recurve light tint windshield. I sprayed it lightly with Protect-All carnuba wax spray. It will show it's fogged with the sun shining through it. I cleaned it several times,after with ammonia free glass spray, and it is still fogged. My experience. The batwing shield may be different.

I been waxing my dark tint lrs for quite some time now. Only saw dew on it from substantial temp change while doing 70mph, but never any random fog. I use gliptone spray wax on it almost every other day, and even a carnuba by gliptone. When its real bad with bugs i use plexus. I also perform the same tasks on all my other bikes. Wonder if it has something to do with the tint. I never owned a light color windshield except for many years ago before they started offering tint. Even then i had my tint guy do the inside of shield for me. Those did not fog either while holding up awesome.

Excellent treatment for your windshield. Safe for polycarbonate.
Cop tip - treat the inside too.
Available at many metric bike dealers.

John, I took your advice. I found the 14oz aerosol can at Advance Auto store this morning. It was on closeout for $1.05 a can. (not a typo) I bought the last 2 they had. For that price I can use 'em for a doorstop if I don't like it. I'll update post in spring when I can use it.
