F4 Customs’ replacement motorcycle windshields are designed with two things in mind: quality and experience. Every one of our motorcycle windscreens is constructed from the highest optical grade polycarbonate we could find. Then it is formed and coated with a proprietary hard coating that protects your windshield from scratches. The proprietary coating is also designed to shed rain, and clean easy. Our replacement motorcycle windshields also come in varying height and style options, so you get the riding experience you want, whether that ride is a short-day trip or a 10,000-mile journey. Every F4 Customs motorcycle windshield is designed to perform and last wherever the road takes you.
Choosing the right F4 Customs motorcycle windshield for Honda GL1500 Gold Wing:
It can be hard choosing the right height replacement windshield for your Honda motorcycle. It is important to ask yourself what you like and what you don’t like about the performance of the stock windshield when making your selection. F4 Customs offers varying height and style options for your GL1500 windshield. Below you can find information on the height options available:
Stock: This is a great selection if you are happy with your GL1500 stock windshield but want the added benefits of an F4 Customs motorcycle windshield like; scratch resistance, rain-shedding and easy cleaning.
+2: The plus two is 2” taller than the stock height, reducing head buffeting and unwanted wind.
+4: NOT AVAILABLE.
The plus four is four inches taller than the stock height and provides maximum wind protection. It is great for two-up riding offering protection for you and your co-rider.
Should I go with clear or tint?
Clear: We recommend the clear option if you do a lot of night riding, or you prefer the visibility a clear windshield provides.
Tint: The tint option is 15% tinted, so you can still look through it during night rides. The tint also acts like a pair of sunglasses during the day and reduces headlight glare at night.
Should I get a vent?
We use an OEM GL1800 stock 5-position vent in our windshields. The vent gives you control over how much wind reaches you. The vent works great in all windshield models however, can be especially beneficial in the taller, wider models that aim to reduce the amount of wind you feel.
