Yes it was the new style.Flexs way too much,shakes alot at speeds over 50mph
I talked to customer rep.today thisis what they told me.We tested the windshield on several types on bikes,its does have a "small flex in it" and it does rainbow if you are wearing polorized glasses.The reson for the flexing is because of the material it made from.Not as stiff as the other types of windshields,but its stronger.The rainbow effect is caused by the hard coating. Thats what they told me.I send it back today ,cost me a 20%restocking fee. Will odred the F4,today
understand about the hard coating causes the rainbow effect,but thew windshield flexs so much at speeds over 60 its distracting to look thur the rainbows.
I had a Tulsa windshiel on before so I didn't notice any flexing.Vstream did flex a great deal at the top and top sides.at the fully up position. It bends back several inches at speeds above 75mph and get worst as you increse the speed. Just didn't like the flimsy feeling I got from seeing the windshield bending in the wind. It does have a different look about it installed.
WOW,,You have got to own stock! This windshield is flexs very badly. At 80 mph is has layed back over 8 inches! I didn't see ANY improvement at all in wind deflection.Jerry Roebke wrote:

Dang Jerry you must have stock in the company. I tested this thing for 200 miles and even behind a pick-up on a back road it was flexing. On the interstate passing a 18 wheeler it was the worse flexing that I have seen in 37 years of riding. It gave very little if any more wind protection than the stock shield. The vent didn't fit, 1/4 in gap in the corners. Now the looks, it looks really cool on the bike. Oh well I guess we all have our opinions. Maybe I just got one from a bad batch and Cajun must have got one from a really bad batch!
My F4 +4 ships tomorrow.
good luck with it
