Bimbim18 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My last bike was a 2003 Honda Shadow. I bought it in 2016. In 6 months it started curling and bubbling. Within a year the 13 year old polarizer film for the LCD melted from the Florida sun. Reading up on it, seems to be a common issue for LCD panels exposed to the sun in FL and TX. It took some searching but I found a high temp rated polarizing film, disassembled my speedo and replaced the odometer polarizer with the high temp stuff. Never even showed the slightest signs of curling or discoloration for the following 2 years I owned it. You may have to do homework to see what kinda plastic you need, but it's probably worth it to try to find a high temp replacement and use that instead. Make sure you know if it just needs to be plastic, or a polarizing film. If the LCDs are invisible with the plastic removed, it's a polarizer. If it's a polarizer make sure the polarized side is facing the inside (will increase the range of view) and that it is assigned properly (alligned as flat horizontally as possible) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Is there any truth to their statement as looking at these windscreen. it is definitely quieter than the stock screen, but im 6'1" and still have a little buffeting around my helmet. not enough to make it loud, but enough that it makes my helmet sort of oscillate a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpippin Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I have an MRA windshield and they claim that their windshield's are designed so as not to have the parabolic effect. Anyone know of this or can verify 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
