Tom Posted August 24, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 24, 2011 Well I received my F4 +2 and VERY satisfied with looks and function.One problem was as I was installing,VERY CAREFULLY,I noticed a very very small scratch just above the vent. I could not see it at all from the riders seat but off the bike and looking thru towards the sun I could see it. Well I immediadely called F4 and talked to Don. Without ANY questions he said please let me send another one immediately,I said no let me ride it first and see if it bothers me so he said OK BUT I want to discount it to you if you keep it. Well I never could see the scratch riding it so my mind started playing tricks on me and I started worrying about it and called to get him to send another.No questions asked he is sending another and paying the freight. Luckily I have a friend that rides a GL1800 and he called Don at F4 to see if he could just buy mine instead of me sending it back to F4 so Don at F4 made him a great deal on it and all has worked out great...Purpose of this is to give Kudos to a well run company with GREAT customer service.

Mikealiasmike Posted August 24, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2011 Wish they made one for the RSTD. These are the kind of comments that will bring in customers and I'd be one if they made one to fit mine:confused24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarUmp Posted August 24, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 24, 2011 Tom, Thanks for helping me make up my mind. I've been looking at the F4, for my RSV, but didn't know anyone who actually had one. Web sites can say anything, but reading your post about their customer service them just sealed the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecount Posted August 24, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 24, 2011 I have 2 sheilds from F4. Shortie/wide/no vent and a Regular/wide/with vent. They are the BEST shield IMHO. The boys at F4 know their stuff, process the order quickly and on the scooter in about a week. Rock hard/scratch resistant. When getting gas, I will often use the Gas Bar windshield squeagie to clear the bugs. No Issue! Call Don or Frank at F4. They will hook you up. Tom, Thanks for helping me make up my mind.

Mike G in SC Posted August 24, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 24, 2011 I got one for my RSV last March. Great shield, great customer service. Yeah, wish they made them for the RSTD. I got the stock height, extra wide. I didn't get the vent, kinda wish I had. But the Clearview on my RSTD has a vent and,,, don't use it much. But, F4,,, good stuff.

That tinted version really helped with night time driving as far as glare from on coming vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midrsv Posted August 24, 2011 Share #12 Posted August 24, 2011 I've got the F4+4 windshield on my GW and it really helped with wind buffeting around my head. It's held up good so far and sheds water well. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickinfred Posted August 24, 2011 Share #13 Posted August 24, 2011 Now if they only had a tinted version like Clear View, I would get the F4. That tinted version really helped with night time driving as far as glare from on coming vehicles. Sleeperhawk, I never had a Clearview tinted on my RSV but have run a Show Chrome tinted as well as the stock shield, the night time glare from on coming vehicles is much less a problem with the F-4 than the other two shields that I have used. The F-4 is a breeze to clean and with on coming headlights/sunshine there is no swirl/cleaning scratches that somehow seems to be on most other shields. I only have 6000 miles on with the F-4 but would not hesitate to buy another one, if I needed a shield. The buffeting with the wide F-4 is nearly gone, but like I said in an earlier post, running 65+ MPH the gas mileage will go down a couple MPG, butttt it's just kids inheritance!!

Carbon_One Posted August 25, 2011 Share #16 Posted August 25, 2011 I just ordered an wide 19 1/2" w/vent. Coming from a Clearview with vent & tint I was a bit concerned about night time glare like SleeperHawk but reading PickingFred's post convinced me. Besides I don't ride as much at night now as I used to so it'll probably be a non-issue. My main reasons for replacing the Clearview is F-4's water shedding abilities and a safer/stronger shield.
