Windbender Options
Windbender Rake Kit is an option that can be added at any time. Simply remove your Top Shield and install the Rake Kit. Fits GL1800, GL1500, (and Fork Mounted Windbenders when available).
After extensive research, we have solved the "rough road" feeling of the HP and HPS experienced by some riders at speed!
Although most people are very happy with the excellent vision and smooth air offered by either the HP or HPS, some have found a bit of a "rough-road" feeling in their helmets at speeds above about 80 mph. We have been experimenting with various options and have come upon a solution! We have found that when standing the Windbender Top Shield up straighter on the GL1800 with an HPS, air flow gets very, very smooth; almost calm. The ride is as close as you can get to sitting in your living room and still be on your motorcycle! Our experience shows that this option even helps with "dirty air" buffeting created by other traffic. The effect, for most folks, is not as dramatic with the HP as with the HPS and we haven't tested the Rake Kit on a GL1500 or a Fork Mounted Windbender, but this hardware allows for such a vast amount of adjustment that everyone should be able to find improvement if desired.
Windbender Spring-Loaded Locating Pin Sets are now available to stop the slow speed, rough road, "Windbender Rattle", or simply to give your installation a clean look and keep you from losing clevis pins.
Spring loaded pins will be standard on the all new HD-FL Windbender Kits, but are currently only coffered as retrofits for the Goldwing and require you to drill and tap a hole in each female adjustment rail on your base shield. If we get enough demand for this product, we will offer them pre-installed in new rails without holes for the old clevis pin system.
Windbender Acrylic Options: We currently manufacture windshields for both the Honda GL1800 and the GL1500 Goldwings. Windbenders for Harley Davidson, FL models should be in full production by Spring of 2012. Windbender HP, ST, and LT for the FL are available in Clear or Bronze Tint. Only the HPS is currently available in Dark Smoke. All but the tallest of the HP and LT options for HD will be available in all three colors.
Most options for our Fork Mounted Windbenders will be available in all three colors also.
Windbender Base Units are shipped in dark smoke by default to hide the dash in lieu of the decal on the stock shield. We now offer GL1800 base units in optional clear or bronze at the same price, so you can mix and match to get the look you desire. Simply select the appropriate item from our price list during the order process.
Windbenders are coming soon to the Harley Davidson Electra Glide, the BMW GS series and Cruisers!
Our Exchange/Return Policy is second to none: Don't like the shield version you first bought? Send it back, pay the difference and we'll send you a larger shield for the price of shipping. If your shield is too large: send it back and we'll deduct the difference in price from the shipping on your replacement. All returns must be made in "AS NEW" condition or a $50 restocking/cleaning fee will apply.
Trial Program: We are so sure you'll like your Windbender that we'll let you buy one, put it on your bike and take it for a few test rides to find your personal sweet spot. If you absolutely do not like it and want to return the whole kit, we only ask that you send it back to us as clean as we sent it to you. A full refund, less the appropriate fee, will be credited to your card. FEES: There will be a $50 resurfacing fee for all returned Windbender kits. We don't expect the base shield to be perfect - it will never be perfect after installation - that's what the resurfacing fee is for. If you send your kit back with a dirty or scratched top shield, the fee will be $100.
There is no reason to settle for second best. Don't push the wind when you can bend it! Windbender, high performance windshields by Firecreek.

WARNING Firecreek Accessories advocates the use of proper eye protection. Even though it's entirely possible to experience calm conditions looking over the top of the Windbender windshield, as with all windshields, heavy objects like gravel or hard shell bugs can penetrate the wind layer and cause eye injury.
