rain
also order you a bottle of this! A couple of buddies who are small engine pilots swear by the stuff. I ordered some a week or so ago after riding in a hellacious rain storm for 7 hours. Applied it but I haven't had to need or desire to intentionally go out in the rain to verify.
I actually called Long Ride Shields prior to purchase and was told they've never heard of it but looks promising and that if it damages my shield send it back and they'll replace it. So kudos to LRS for that as well.

Thanks for all the replies.
I've decided to put my 7" shield in for the trip. (The tallest one I can look OVER)
And thank you for the link to the cee bailey water repellent.
I actually ordered one.
And I'm hoping that the weather forecast is wrong! Lol.
I'll be getting my motor worked on in Fort Worth (by Steve at GMR who used to be in Prescott, only 100 miles from where I live, vs 1,000 miles I gotta ride now!!)
107", cams, heads and clutch. I'll post about it in a separate thread. Stay tuned!

It's a bit cheaper to order straight through Cee Bailey

Might also want to keep a microfiber towel within arms reach for wiping spray off face shield or windshield. Have ridden daylight in the rain numerous times but only once at night and do not care for it with semi's and cages around with lots of glare.

Some windshield manufacturers recommend the use of Rain X. My Clearview poop sheet says to use "Original Rain X". It all depends on what kind of plastic is used to make the shield.

Does clearview stand behind their product like LRS does? I was actually kinda surprised when LRS customer service told me (after they verified the product descriptions) to try an unknown aircraft product on their shield and if something happens, they would replace it.
Even rain-x website states to not use their products on ANY type of plastics.
