Luckily the windshield caught the bolt that fell off a flatbed as it was directly in line with my beautiful wife’s eyes. So thankful that the windshield caught it but has anyone ever fixed, repaired, or patched up a slightly tinted windshield? Or am I just better off leaving it alone and will most likely just make things worse. These two divots in the red circle are what I’m talking about.

It’s hard to tell what kind of damage it is in the photo, but if it is a rub type damage out could use a type of headlight restorer in that area only. guessing here.

definitely! Thank you all. I will have to do a little more research on the windshield as it came with my sling and I’m not the one that bought it. It is definitely not a scratch. When you put your finger over it there’s a small indent or gouge. Judging from what all have said even if I try to fill it or Color it it might just make it stick out more. Perhaps just leave it alone and allow it to be a well appreciated scar!

Does your insurance cover it. If it was a auto and in Florida they would have to cover it. I don't know about cycles or your state.

Ya this bolt was on a mission! Had I had the old windshield it would have hit her for sure. This one is about 3" taller and actually makes the "cabin" a little quieter and it is solid. No wind slots down below. Even with my height my line of sight is just over the edge so ya - happy camper.
This is what I have... F4 Custom and I believe it is a +3" BUT of course my sling is not this color...
I am going to contact them about a possible repair if possible.
F4 Customs’ replacement motorcycle windshields are designed with two things in mind: quality and experience. Every one of our motorcycle windscreens is constructed from the highest optical grade polycarbonate we could find.

Didn't think of that ( thanks) but it is small and having just totaled my last SS not really wanting to make another claim. 400$ for a new one would be cheeper I believe in the long run
"Chicks dig scars ( and scratches on windshields), pain heals, glory lasts forever!"
( The Replacements) good flick!

car insurance with pay to fix rock cracks (bulls eyes) but not the entire windshield....you’ll pay deductible.... ask my how many times I know this...

My Insurance has paid to replace entire windshield several times. They also paid to fix bullseye chips. Once, I had a chip and told a bodyshop guy I would rather have a new windshield than to fix the chip. He went out and whacked the spot with his fist, the windshield split all around it. This allowed me to get an entire new one. 😁

State Farm replaced the windshield on my Bronco twice and not a penny out of my pocket. From my understanding the state of Fl requires them too.
Seriously, SO HAPPY she wasn’t injured!!!
