windshield tint nklr

Ahh, plastics. A subject near and dear to me.
Clear wind screen? Stock KLR? All that I've seen
are smoke tinted, not clear.
Anyway, the stock KLR windscreen is polycarbonate
(aka "Lexan" brand name) and therefore is the same
plastic as virtually all automobile headlamp lenses, which
do yellow - sometimes quite badly - over time.
Any polish made for headlamp lenses will also work
on the KLR shield. Sometimes the yellowing is the
whole way through, however, and no amount of polish
will take that away.
Taking the windscreen away will
get rid of the yellowing, though.
