Add Wind Protection & Maintain Optical Clarity

Adding wind protection with a windshield or fairing on a motorcycle like a Harley Davidson minimizes the wind blowing into your face.

Pushing through continuous wind at 70 mph forces your core and back muscles to stay clenched just to keep you upright. Adding a quick-detach windshield or front quarter-fairing diverts that wall of air right over your helmet.

• Set Proper Sightline Height: Ensure the top lip of the windshield aligns right around nose level. You want to look over the screen during normal riding, not look through dirty or fogged plastic.

• Avoid Ammonia-Based Cleaners: Never spray household glass cleaners on polycarbonate or acrylic windshields. Ammonia reacts with the plastic polymers, causing micro-cracking (crazing) and permanent yellowing over time.

• Safe Cleaning Technique: Soak a plush, borderless microfiber towel in warm water or a dedicated plastic-safe quick detailer, lay it flat across the bug-splattered shield for two minutes to soften the residue, and gently wipe away without pressing down.
