Comparison of the optical quality of PC800 windshields between the stock Honda shield and Clearview

This is a comparison between a stock Hondaline windshield and a Clearview windshield on a Honda Pacific Coast PC800 motorcycle.


Editor’s note: I am preserving Leland Sheppard’s PC800-related content after his passing. This is one of his pages that I felt the PC800 community would want to have preserved. Leland may be on his final Iron Butt ride but he is not forgotten.


The setup for the test.

The two shields WITHOUT a thick black line across the top are the Clearviews; the other two are stock Honda shields (OEM – not the tall Hondaline) with SAENG edging on them (the thick black line).

Personally, I see very little difference in optical quality.  To my eye, the Clearview gets the edge but only slightly.  Again, to my eye, there is a slight color difference: the Clearviews are lighter than the stock Honda shields.  I can see no distortion through any of the shields.
