So you can use Rain-X on the windshield. I had a guy tell me that you can't because the HD windshield is plastic. What do you use to wash it? Microfiber cloth and soapy water?
SOME shields allow you to use Rain-X on them (LRS, Clearview are two that come to mind), but you've heard correctly- the plastic windshields aren't supposed to have Rain-X applied to them.
Photocrhromatic. I used to use rain-x on my car windshields but it doesn't help with bugs. I now use Rejex on the whole bike and my cars, including the windshields. Makes cleanup easy.
The Photocrhromatic would be great right up to the time I'd get caught in the rain which seems to happen a lot, then Id trade it in a cold hard minute for for the Rain-X coating so I'm going to have to go with the Rain-X.
PS
Have had the flat top for almost two months now and it a great Shield.
