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 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.
Any questions contact: Leland Sheppard, iPCRC #72 [Editor’s Note: While Leland is away on his final ride, Douglas might be able to answer your questions.]
