"I should've stayed with the polycarbonate shield as it is a tougher polymer than acrylic."

Before i bought mine i pm'd LRS 3 times over a few days with no response. A few weeks later and still no response. I called them directly and ordered a shield anyway. Came in 3 days or so. Bought the 7" Ultra Recurve. Dont really know why they never responded to my pm's though..........

They took care of my cracked windshield that i screwed up by using locktite on the screws and over tightened. It was totally my fault and the shipped me a new wind shield no cost.That is a stand up company!!!!!! Not saying that is what caused your problem but that is what caused mine. Dont over tighten the screws and don't use locktite.

Three months ago back in May I purchased the LRS 9" light tint Ultra for my 08 E.G. classic, I really like the way it performed, might have gotten a few scratches in it while cleaning it a few times, no big deal, but yesterday I took it off to clean between it and my windshield T-Bags, done this a few other times with no problem, but yesterday when I took it off I noticed stress cracks around the mount where the left screw goes in, and when I went to re-install it the whole tab where the left screw goes in finished cracking and broke off, so for now my stock windshield is back on until I decide what's next, but I guess I'm lucky I got about 3 months use out of it.

My first LRS shield developed a stress crack shortly after I installed it. LRS immediately sent out a replacement at no cost, great service. After looking at that video I'm wondering if maybe I should switch shields. One thing for sure, I would never wear anything but polycarbonate glasses, fer sure!

I have no cracks (yet) w/my LRS. Overall, I'm fairly happy with it.
The recurve DOES work.
My concern is I bought the clear, but it's almost like a light haze looking thru it. The stk Harley shield is clear like looking thru glass. I've used mild cleaners on it. Carefull which cloth you use. The LRS will scratch.
Anyone else noticed this?
