    They are not a supporting vendor any more.
    We got a major run around from them about their sponsorship of this forum. After contacting them many times about their sponsorship and letting their advertising go far past their contract they were removed.

    They are not made out of polycarbonate. Would you really want an acrylic windshield with steel adjusting brackets in front of you? Stick with the OEM Tall with Vent, National Cycles or Klock Werks which are made out of Polycarbonate.

    My Mad$tad took a 2" bearing flung up from a truck tire on her maiden voyage.
    Left a half moon indent on the outer shield.
    Whatever the Mad$tad is made of, it works.
    My experience, YMMV.
    Cheers,

    FYI, the canopy of the F/A-18 Hornet supersonic combat jet is made of cast acrylic. If acrylic is good enough for a military fighter jet we feel it is good enough for your motorcycle!

    It more extreme situations when strength is needed, polycarbonate is used. Read the below link for a better understanding of the materials used in jet fighter canopies.

    Because they are uglier than ?

    That's my guess.

    I guess My B fits into the less fast aircraft category having a single layer of acrylic.

    Ive had some big stones bounce off my Mad steed and no breakage.
    When I wrecked a bike 3 years ago and went flying over the front, my right toe hit the wind shield and broke it.
    That was a hit from behind so it don't count.
    My toe nail (shield) came off a week later.
    ITS ALL GOOD
