Default Windshield Water Removal

How does one increase visibilty (remove rain) when riding in the rain? Is there a product that can be put on a stock Harley-Davidson windshield that aids the rain run off?

Rain-Ex works REALLY well. I've got a bunch of free sample bottles at my shop if you happen to live in the Sacramento,Calif. area.....

Do NOT use Rain-ex!!! Ah know Voodoo wuz funnin' - but others here may NOT know that. Rain-ex WILL destroy yer windshield unless it's expressly made fer plastic shields......

Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish. Water beads up and blows off. It's great stuff for the rest of the bike too. After you use it, you'll give your can of Lemon Pledge to your wife.

Hate to say it but the wipes at the dealer work pretty well.Some might say lemon pledge. This summer I used Eagle One ?? nanowax on the bike and when it was real buggy I waxed the windshield on mybike and the bugs came off easier and water sure did roll right off when it got washedbut havenot tohit rain with it . Yet.

Thank you for the heads up on Rain-Ex. I didn't know. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be sure to read all labels closely.

A good quality paste wax works great. I use it on both sides of the windshied, it makes it easier to clean off the buguts & helps when I have to wipe off condensation in the morning. I reapply it whenever I clean the windshield.
