BlackKat this is from the LRS website.

"Long ride shields are made from impact modified acrylic. That is to say we do not use ordinary acrylic. Impact modified acrylic is a hybrid material with the structural strength of Poly carbonates yet it is a material that will not fade in the sun like most poly carbonates.

When formed into shape (rather than bent into shape) our windshields offer maximum protection from rocks and flying debris. Our windshields have every bit of strength as a lexan or poly carbonate windshield, and because they are heat formed in a special process they do not have the added stress that most flat (bend into place) windshields have when installed."

Hope this helps.

I got the 8.5 Klockwerks. I got it for $130 plus free shipping from Eastern Performance. I did a write up on it a few weeks ago. I like it! Couldn't beat the price and got it next day.

The windshields are starting to get to the testers.

Heres a link to a thread from a member who just got his 7" today.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...indshield.html

Looks pretty good. Hopefully my 8" should be here in the next couple of day's.

Maybe it's my OCD, but what color would match the events on the side of the Bat Wing?

Thanks,

Gentlemen,

My apologies for not hopping on here sooner. Also, sorry for my lack of returning emails, calls, questions on the forums and PMs. Matt and I generally share keeping up with communications, but he's been completely swamped out in the shop and I've been on FTX with my unit. But I'm back now and am grinding through all these messages.

I should have responses sent to everyone tomorrow when I get into the office. I'll be in the office all day, so feel free to call between 8am and 5pm PST(GMT-8). If you have any questions, feel free to email us at longrideshields@gmail.com or call (775) 544-6119.

-Rob
