Purchased this windshield about 2 months ago and just returned from a 3200 mile trip to South Florida. after a couple of 550 mile days, one of them in a heavy rain, I couldn't be more pleased. Mounting was simple, all holes fitted correctly, no problems. I think it actually fits better than the stock windshield.
Windshield is optically clear side to side and top to bottom.Bugs cleaned off easily with the F4 cleaner and paper towels and left no scratches. I found that the water beaded up and ran down and around the sides leaving the shield clear and spot free. In light rain spray when the shield became dirty I was able to clear it up by riding behind a truck for a couple of seconds.
At this size (19.5 extra wide wind buffeting was no problem even with a passenger. This really helped contribute to long 80 mph days in the saddle.
No cracks or pits were noted upon return and the vent really helped on hot days and slow traffic.
I only have a couple of minor complaints
#1 There is no dark film on the lower mounting edge to hide the inner side of the back of the fairing and speaker hardware. (I intend to add this next time I split the fairing.)
#2 The windshield vent used is the stock Honda Gold Wing vent and does leak some rain through shutters even when closed.( I may be able to remedy this with some thin weatherstrip)
2 complaints aside I couldn't be more pleased with this windshield and do not hesitate to give it top ratings.
I haven't had any reason to test the companies warranty but if it is anything like their personalized customer service I expect no problems.

Usually 10 to 12 thousand on the rear a little more on the front. Mix of single and 2 up.
I probably change a little early but rather safe especially 2 up.

Not to pirate your thread but here's another source for LED lights

Just installed the 7LED/30° models @ $137.00 with shipping for both. Probably not DOT approved but really bright so make sure they are aimed properly. 2 year warranty.
So far after 1 week and 500 or so miles no problems.

Mine were toast also, sealed with rtv. Don't know if approved repair but still holding after about 10k miles.

I had a loose gas cap on my 01 that wouldn't seal properly and always leaked fuel vapors. I tried to locate a new seal from dealers, no luck. Finally used proper sized rubber o ring. Still working after 2 years. Rubber still good.

Those loud pipes alerted me and I was able to give him a bit of margin, but it was still a very close call
