Just received my windshield today (Thanks Mike)!! Came home and installed it which was simple and perfect fit. I ordered the tall clear for winter. After I installed it and polished it
I sat on the bike with the shield raised to look at for the first time. CRAP !! The shield is awesome except there is a "buckle", "lowspot", "sag" not sure what you want to call it. It is at the top of the windshield in the 2:00 position thats about 4-5 inches long. You can see it when
you step back and look at the overall smooth flow of the top edge. I have emailed Baileys
and now their website doesnt work and my email came back...........

Anyone else had this problem? Hoping they just send me another one and that their web is just temporarily down.........

It is still an awesome product, and I wouldnt hesitate if any of you are considering ordering one.
I suspect I just got a booboo that happened during the "curving process..

VaParadox - when everything gets resolved, please take some photos of the bike with the new winshield and put them in the gallery. Also put a description with them, that way others can search on "Bailey" and see your photo.


Thanks.

I have only heard of one other person who had a problem with distortion in their Cee Baileys, and the company replaced it immediately. Mine came out of the box with perfect optics, and I have been really happy with it since I installed it. Good luck.

CeeBaileys called me today eager to get me out a new shield. They just needed the original order information in order to process a new one. So Im waiting on Mike to contact me with his order info since he was kind enough to order mine with his. Once I get that,
Bailey's said they would put a replacement one in the mail pronto !

I ordered mine on the 1st Dec and got it on the 5th Dec. I got the +4" light gray tint. It is nice. with the shield all the way down is perfect for me. I still look over the top edge, when the wife is on board I put it up about 1/2 way and she is really happy, no buffing. The light gray tint accents out the blue of the bike.
