#477196 River (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1846 Longrides Recurve and distortion 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I just ordered a Longrides ultra recurve with a lite tint. Could any of you fellows tell me if the distortion where the recurve is bothers you? Or is the distortion minimal? By the way, those seem nice guys to deal with down there, the fellow I talked to was very helpful and he said I should have my windshield before the week is out. I recurved my existing Memphis Shades shield to see what a recurve actually does and it made a big difference, of course the distortion was terrible on it. Too be expected if you torch one of these things. Seems the faster you go the better they work.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #477199 Rev.

And if it does annoy you, I'm sure you'll get used to it after enough miles. If not, I don't think it's the windshield that's your problem...   Logged     The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #477205 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10070 Re:Longrides Recurve and distortion 1 Year, 1 Month ago   i seam to remember ozarkpreacher has that windshield and the curve was right in his eyesight and he couldn't see worth a darn, he cut it shorter and now he is very happy. so i guess just like doc_v said if you can look over the shield you should be fine   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700 ORIGINAL ROAD SLAMMER   The administrator has disabled public write access. #477254 River (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1846 Re:Longrides Recurve and distortion 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Rev. wrote: River, do have a pic of what you did? Cameras Broke Rev. but I just marked where I wanted to do the recurve and went to work with a map gas torch, then grabbed it with a my welding gloves and began to roll it in my palms back toward me. I fogged it a little by getting it too hot. me I ain't got much patience and it does take patience to let it heat up. While its hot enough to recurve it also wants to return toward its original position so you have to kind of keep pressure on it until it cools.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #477258 River (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1846 Re:Longrides Recurve and distortion 1 Year, 1 Month ago   smokescreens wrote: i seam to remember ozarkpreacher has that windshield and the curve was right in his eyesight and he couldn't see worth a darn, he cut it shorter and now he is very happy. so i guess just like doc_v said if you can look over the shield you should be fine Yeah Smokes, my windshield is the 9 inch I got from Shades and it is just right. The guy told me I should order the 10 inch shield. Even if you gotta lower it, all you have to do is drill more holes though.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #477332 Kaidallac (User) The Wind is the Spirit... Platinum Boarder Posts: 5364 Re:Longrides Recurve and distortion 1 Year, 1 Month ago   River, what the LRS site recommentds is that the tip of the windsheild be level with your mustache area. With that being the case, you look over the top and will not even notice the curve. At least I don't.

Can't wait to try it out. I have a Scorpian half shelf with a flip down visor. The visor is made out of rather thin plastic and it don't take much wind to vibrate it. Its my favorite helmet too. I wish they had made a thicker shield for it. The recurve will kick the wind a little higher. I ordered the Ultra.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #477373 hrdbrgn (User) Restore America Platinum Boarder Posts: 1187 Re:Longrides Recurve and distortion 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Rev. wrote: River, do have a pic of what you did?

I went from hating the shield because of the distortion to not even noticed.   Logged     http://www.facebook.com/pages/In-His-Grip-Ministries/170510819648718?tour=1&sk=wall   The administrator has disabled public write access.
