A portable, temporarily installable and removable windshield wiper unit for use with motorcycles and recreational vehicles which have windshields and electrical batteries, said portable, temporarily installable and removable windshield wiper unit comprising:

• a flat mounting plate;
• a hollow case including brackets extending therefrom and providing for the attachment of said unit to a vehicle;
• said case supporting said mounting plate therein;
• a motor, said motor attached to said mounting plate and having an output shaft extending therethrough;
• a drive wheel rotatably fixed on said output shaft;
• electrical circuitry including an on/off switch to control electrical power to said motor;
• an integral and unitary, elongated wiper arm monolithically formed of flat planar stock material, pivotally mounted at a mid-portion thereof on a pin extending through said mounting plate and having a driven end directly and continuously cooperating with said drive wheel through a unitary mechanical means extending from said drive wheel and engageable with said driven end of said wiper arm, and a second end coaxially aligned with said driven end along a straight centerline for supporting a wiper blade;
• said mechanical means converting rotary motion of said drive wheel to oscillating motion of said integral and unitary, elongated wiper arm;
• said drive wheel including a flat formed upon one edge thereof at a specified point;
• a park switch installed in parallel with said electrical circuitry, with said park switch communicating with said flat and serving to stop said integral and unitary, elongated wiper arm at a position determined by said flat and said park switch when said on/off switch is turned off, whereby
• said wiper unit is installed adjacent a vehicle windshield by means of said brackets and connected to an electrical battery of a vehicle, thereby providing for the clearance of a vehicle windshield by said wiper unit.
