Windshield Care
A windshield is included with some Victory models.
Wash the windshield using a soft cloth or sponge soaked in a solution of mild detergent and warm water,
applying minimal pressure as you wash. Let the detergent do the cleaning, not the pressure you apply.
Excessive washing pressure may cause dirt, sand, or other foreign materials on the windshield to scratch it.
Soak the cloth or sponge in the detergent and water solution frequently to provide plenty of soapy water for
washing, and keep the cloth or sponge clean by rinsing it frequently.
S Minor scratches may be removed with a quality plastic polishing compound. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when using plastic polishing compounds.
S Insects, oil, tar, and tree sap may also damage the motorcycle’s finish. If normal washing does not remove
these materials, you may need to use a special cleaner. Choose a cleaner designed for use on clear plastic
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using special cleaners.
Do not use glass water and soil repellents or alcohol based cleaners as these products can damage the
windshield.
Caution
Repairing Painted Surface Damage
After cleaning the motorcycle, inspect it for damage to the painted surfaces. If you discover chips or scratches
in the paint, apply genuine Victory touch--up paint as soon as possible to prevent corrosion.
