I recently bought a 2010 Road King.
The windshield that came with it has this "stuff" on the
INSIDE of the plexi.
It looks like a solvent of some kind was splashed ON it but I can't clean it because, again, it's on the INSIDE!
I just ordered a new one from Clearview and no one there has ever sern anything like it.
I've asked several other people but no luck.
Have any of you ever seen something like this?
Could it be a mold?
It's not spreading and the spotted areas are as solid as the rest of the shield.
And its only on/in the lower portion of the shield if that helps.
Any ideas???

If the issue across the entire bottom of the shield , I'm going to take a guess it's one of those shields that have a tint across it , just really worn and sun faded .
Yes.....the bottom portion is tinted!
I never thought of fading......that could be it.
I'll check again, but I can swear it's on the inside.
Maybe not.
And thanks for the Windex warning!
I'll make sure never to use that on my new one!

Forgot to mention , when I bought my 10 King , I put the light grey tinted clearview shield on it , that was 5 years ago , still looks like new ( accept for rock chips ) . What impressed me the most about it , was the fact that they are made thicker than most oem shields .
When cleaning , especially dried bugs etc , use a towel or shammy cloth with warm water , and lightly wipe it clean . To prevent fine scratches , rinse the shield off first , then clean .
Enjoy the new ride , it should give you many happy miles .
Looks to me to be on the clutch side.
Do you have a hydraulic clutch?
Remove the hardware,
scuff it up it and paint it with spray tint.
What do you have to loose, you're replacing it anyway?
