Yamaman Posted January 10, 2012 Share #51 Posted January 10, 2012 This is a great opportunity - Thanks F4! Most on here are much more deserving than me. I only ride about 4-5,000 a year. On the other hand, I am very honest (see - if I wasn't honest, I would have said I ride 30k a year through snow, dust storms and tornado's!) and opinionated. My current shield is just about toast and I've looked longingly at the F4 for some time now. Thanks again and good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUSDANA Posted January 10, 2012 Share #52 Posted January 10, 2012 I would love the opportunity to evaluate this windshield. I own a 2000 RSV Millennium edition, so the windshield would look very nice in photo ops. I ride my bike 26 miles a day, back and forth to work and I enjoy blasting the local backroads every weekend. I have a trip planned this spring, to Pigeon Forge, where I have 3 awesome rides already mapped out, including Cherohala Skyway and Tail of the Dragon. (did I mention photo ops?) Most importantly, I NEED a windshield. (why give one to someone who doesn't need it?) When I bought my RSV, it had a little short, cut down windshield on it. I am much taller than the guy I bought it from, so it didn't do much "wind shielding" for me. It also came with an extra windshield that is tinted green and REALLY tall. It's hard to justify (to wifey) buying a new windshield, when I already have two in good condition. My writing/evaluating skills are decent. Read my restaurant evaluations at: UrbanSpoon http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/profile/823787/dangerousdana.html Lastly, I would just like to say that Free is my favorite price. Thank you, kindly. dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomerCPO Posted January 10, 2012 Share #53 Posted January 10, 2012 I'll put my name in the hat for this deal. My windshield is in really poor shape because.... like Kbran.... it is subject to a lot of wear/tear from the Loozeeanner conditions. One condition on this for me tho....If it turns out that my buddy Squid needs a windshield for his Venture I'd gladly give the windshield to him for his scoot. Boomer....who sez he kin trade off 6 or so pygmies on this deal too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more like a scuba tank with this crowd.

pickinfred Posted January 12, 2012 Share #59 Posted January 12, 2012 I grew up a country boy, poor as poor could be, It instilled in me Real Values, now days you just don't see. It was rough growing up in WV, life always had its spills, I have one leg shorter than the other, the Dr says from climbing these hills 60,000 miles per year I average, on the ole RSV it seems, I don't want to be misleading, 50,000 miles of that is Dreams. I heard of the F-4 windshield, about a year and a half ago, Sold earthworms, eggs and chickens, trying to save up enough dough. I wanted one of the F-4s badly, just almost enough to beg, Indeed a lucky Hillbilly, had an old hen lay a golden egg. On the phone I quickly placed my order, was truely a lucky man, 48 hours later I felt special, I had the F-4 in my hand. Now 7800 miles later, I'm still happy as a man can be, Riding a grinnin most all the time, By George now I can see. They must make them with feathers, in the rain it does so well, The F-4 disperses water, just like an old Ducks Tail Cleaning is no big problem, as with the old shields it could be, Spray on the Gleme and wipe it off, kinda simple now you see. But the F-4 has a problem, looks like Don Frank would know, Every bee that wants to greet me, through the vent holes its butt will go. I already have an F-4 and love it....so don't put me on the list. I hope whoever gets this shield enjoys it as much as I do mine. I just wanted to get some practice...maybe sometime I will want to WIN!! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is hope " Well theres your angle.... need something strong enough to prevent Hawk attacks...lol On the serious side though... If you truly want durability feed back, just pick someone that has to deal with those love bugs everyday. They are the worst thing in the world to get off of your bike and I believe thats how I scratched my stock shield up.

brainfart Posted January 13, 2012 Share #65 Posted January 13, 2012 well, let's give it a shot........ moved from Seattle to Phoenix in July 2004 (yea - not a great time to move into the oven). Commute was 49 miles each way - in hand-me-down 1980 Lincoln Town Car... Sent wife on vacation and began to search for a new commute vehicle. looked at Toyota, Ford, Chevy, etc.... on a whim, stopped by a Yamaha dealer.... 2 hours later I left on a new 04 STAR 1100 classic....(wife -former EMT & ER Tech- was not thrilled).. Anyway - 3 years and 71,000 miles later...wife talked me into an 07 RSV. Been riding it daily with road-trips to Chattanoga, Hot Springs Arkansas, Seattle, Billings Mt. and several quick over-nights to watch the Raiders... (yea-- i know-- everyone has a bad few-decades...) Still have a few months left on the 5 year warranty.... On the commute this morning the odometer turned over to 108,000 and still running strong.... 179,000 miles just over 7 years.. not bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
