Personally I would go by what the manufacturer of the shield says.....but definitely try whichever on an obscure part of the shield beforehand. I Have a National Cycle shield, and it is a lexan polycarb, coated shield. I have always used Novus 1 on it to clean bugs and road grime off successfully. I also have some of the #2 & #3 Novus which worked great on some older shields I had with scratches. Recently I had my bike fall over and the shield actually kept the bike from crashing over all the way by wedging itself up against something standing closeby. But even though the bike itself is unscathed, the shield took some deep scratches across the top edge. I had cut the shield down some time back and had hung onto the top pieces that were cut off. So I tried using the 2 & 3 Novus on those scraps after digging some likewise deep scratches in them. LOL, screwed it up even worse than the scratches did. Completely fogged over, scratches still there. Luckily I can live with the scratches where they are as they are below my line of vision. I cut the shield down so the top is about even with the bottom of my nose like they're supposed to be, heightwise. I'm going to check with NC and see if they will sell me another shield minus all the hardware at some sort of discounted price since they are warranteed for 3 years against breakage even if its caused by your bike falling over. Will they? With my luck, probably not....lol. Anyway, be careful , hope you can figure it out and get it fixed.

First off, you need to make sure what the shield is made of. Each type of material has certain do's and don'ts, and doing the wrong procedure to, or using the wrong chemical on the wrong type of material can make it worse, maybe unusable. I would go to the website for the type of shield you have and do some checking before assuming anything. I have ruined shields by not checking myself. Btw, I think a Slipstream is an acrylic and not a polycarbonite lexan- "SCRATCH REMOVER An exclusive non-scratching formulation which effectively cleans acrylic without the usual harsh abrasives. Quickly removes minor scratches and scuffs with very little effort. Use before Cleaner/Polish for cleaning of plastics which have scratches, extra dirt or dull surfaces."This is something Slipstream recommends for their shields. But it also says this after-"DO NOT USE SCRATCH REMOVER ON LEXAN OR POLY CARBONATE PLASTICS. THIS INCLUDES ALL OEM SHIELDS" http://www.slipstreamer.com/Product/Misc/misc.html

How much you pay is important, but you are paying for that time when you have to make a claim. At least I am. We have, over the years, tried many different ins companies and found State Farm to be the best when it comes time to needing them to be there. Sometimes they are the chaepst, sometimes not, but the old adage, 'like a good neighbor.....' is true. Car accidents, homeowner claims, they have taken care of our needs. Hight winds blew half our roof off a few years back. We had a check, in our hands, the next day. Of course it helps to have a wife who's been in the insurance industry for nearly 35 years too. We have the correct coverage, have eliminated the crap, and understand the lingo, which is usually most of the problem. I wish you all well with All State. They sure do make good commercials.....

Hey Welcome! Once you get south of I-70 the weather becomes more moderate. North of I-70, welcome to lake effect snow and ice. Its a skip and a jump down to some elevation changes and lots of twisties in the south easter part of the state. And ya gotta stop at JimBo's bar and grill on 56 in Hocking Hills. Outstanding burgers and ice cold beer.

Welcome aboard!

Condolences

I might need some stuff done...

Well if the shutdown happens the Blue Ridge Parkway is going to be gated closed. http://www.wsoctv.com/news/27478413/detail.html

Almost sounds like two separate events....

When I asked at the BOMV they said a personalized plate was more like $100 plus....and as far as foreign made....we have allowed manufacturing to leave our country since the Nafta agreement was signed, so finding anything 100% american made is near impossible.

Terrible, RIP and condolences to those he left behind.

Rode south on 65 out of Gary years back. Noticed I was leaning over to my right alot to keep on the road, but when I would get beside a semi I could straighten up. Just as I was getting ready to pass I had to literally dive into a deep lean right as the wind hit me. Then I rode by an overturned volkswagon in the median and decided I'd better pull off. 24 was comning up so I pulled off and stopped at a little truck stop. Place was full of people inside standing around everywhere. I mean like a sardine can. Shoulda heard everyone when they saw me ride in. Guess there was a tornado heading east just back north of where we were. I must have rode too close....lol.

Solo I tend to rock n roll, but in a group I run with the pack. In recent years I have tended to run at more reasonable speeds as I no longer wear my bulletproof suit....lol

I have the PT140 Pro Millenium and love it. Great piece.
