Is it worth it? Thinking of putting some on my existing shield. Sources?

This? I have it on mine, but have not been in a hard rain yet. Last rain was a light drizzle. Just before I was caudht in a hard rain and had a puddle on the instruments. One guy I asked, who had it, said it worked well.

I use chrome insert wheel well molding that I got for the wheel well of course, and it works really well in a steady rain, keeping the water from coming back onto the inside of the shield, and was only $21 for a 20 foot roll instead of $13 per foot :shock:

I have this on my VTX http://www.saeng.com/product.php?id=581&category=80

It stops most of the rain and throws the wind up and out about 5 inches from the molding.

I went to Lowes and bought about 5' of 3/8ID clear tubing that I slit and put around my windshield. I hold it in place with a few small binder clips. Total cost about $3 and it stays coiled up in the CD compartment.

:agree: Works great.

I went to Auto Zone and got some clear door edge guard, it already has the adhesive in the channel, cut to length and put it on. I just put it at the very top of my shield and it works great, not real noticable. Total cost about $3-4.

FWIW, I had a used '84 Aspencade that came with with a metal decorative trim around the edge of the windshield. Not a rain gutter. Found it it to be an annoyance as it often was in my line of view when I had the windshield at the height I liked. It looked nice, but I ended up removing it.

I had it on my 1500 and it worked well. If you like to look over the shield it may be in your line of sight. I keep my windshield all the way up and look thru it so it worked for me. I haven't put it on my 1800 w/F4, yet.

I can't believe they are still selling this idea! I had it as a factory product on my 1983 BMW R100RT. As far as I'm concerned it's noisy, in the way visually and not worth much. I'm surprised someone is still selling this idea. For a product that's more than 25 years old I don't see any advantage at all. I wouldn't use it on my wing for anything!

:agree: had a 1500 with it, it was ok when it wasn't raining but when it was raining the thing was in my line of sight

why are they still selling it ? because it sounds like a great idea so folks buy it, its one of those things where even though lots of folks say save your money there will still b folks buying it, one of those learn the hard way things

I had the same problem--took the trim off the windsheid.
