Windshield

Post by AZTommy »

Does anybody besides Clearview make oversized windshields for the Voyager X11? I want the 29 in high, tallest. Or does anyone have a good one they want to sell?

I love my Clear View, and they are great to deal with. After a year of South Florida sun and bugs, it still looks like the day I got it. All I do is clean it with Honda Spray wax and ride on. I got the 3 inch higher and 6 inch wider grey tint, it takes a lot of wind off Lori on the back and if I am at speed in the rain I don't even need to put my gear on.

Lemon Pledge is fantastic to use on clear acrylic plastics, and it is available everywhere, for a very reasonable price. I pack a can, along with a micro-fiber towel, when touring. Takes a little elbow grease for dried-on/baked-on bugs, but it works exceptionally well. Cheers!

I told the guy at Clear View some things never change, back in 1995 when I had my first VX11 a 1994 I bought the same 29in tall windshield from them. The more things change the more they stay the same :-D If they ever stop making Lemon Pledge they will have to put me away :cry2:

That's what we used on my Lexen stockcar windshields, worked great and smelled even better. :gig:

Pledge will remove a lot of things: crayon marks, wax, bugs, etc. Just an FYI: if you use car wax on the painted bits, do not use Pledge on there to clean it up, unless you intend to strip it down to the paint/clearcoat. Cheers!

Clearview sells windshields and good ones at that, they also sell products to clean them but I don't order them, I do have a Clearview windshield, but all the things mentioned above works just as well. I use Honda spray wax on mine, works very well cleaning and removing bugs, the Honda dealer stocks it.
