    Any ideas? I may have to swap the windshield, but it looks so damn nice as is.
    Unless the paint is metallic, you should not have a problem at all detecting radar. You obviously will have no laser detection unless you go the route that Doc mentions.
    The front of the windshield has a blue tint, however underneath its completely solid and will substantially reduce RD performance. I think the only option may be to swap the windshield with a tint, but transperancy. It's just too bad, as I love the windshield, it looks great on the bike. I'll take a pic later on today to share for any additional possible ideas.
    Well, as long as that solid material is plastic or fiberglass, you should not worry about reduced radar performance. Your laser detection will obviously be totally gone though. But honestly, unless you have a jammer on your bike, by the time you react, you'll likely be toast.

    Does your brake reservoir clear the wind screen?

    Other than that for laser reception you would have to go with with remote mount and mount it under the headlight.

    Not too concerned about lidar detection, aside from the rare scatter save. I may look at an LI dual for the bike eventually, but the LI's on my car stopped working this year and I have to figure things out with Cliff prior.

    Thanks for the ideas.
