    Lightbulb YOUR WINDSHIELD CHOICE ON F3? Gustaffson, Madstad, California Scientific, F4

    Does anyone here have any experience with any of the following windshields on their F3's???

    --> Gustaffson
    --> Madstad
    --> California Scientific
    --> F4


    I'm 6' tall and I believe I would prefer to look through the shield, rather than having the wind hit me in the forehead.

    Any feedback from the field will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!!

    I have the Gustaffon on my 2015 F3s. I like the fact that it fits the OEM Blue Ridge brackets so it maintains an OEM look. I have their middle size and am 5'10". I got it from someone taller that decided they wanted a taller shield. You will find that everyone with an aftermarket screen has preferences and can provide you with what they see as the advantages of the other vendors.CJ Jax

    Default GUSTAFSSON

    I have the GUSTAFSSON tall version.... i'm 6'2", and it does an excellent job....
    also, give consideration to the 'tinted' versions... mine is a light gray tint, and i find that it blends in nicely with the colors of my SPYD3R...

    Limited F3 here and the stocker basically blocks nothing. Tons of buffeting and i can only imagine how bad it would be in the cold weather. And im only 5'9 lol. Dont want to look through it but something just below my eyesight would be perfect. My motorcycle has one just below eyesight and its perfect. Let us know what you choose, im interested as well.

    Same comment here, I hate tall windshields, I don't like looking through them, we are not in 1970 . I have an F3S and I am 5'7". I always wear a 3/4 helmet with a shield and a mesh jacket for warm weather or a heavier jacket for cold weather. I currently have the bike without a windshield because I like the wind to cool me down on hot days in Arkansas during the summer. I just don't like those rides when I can get to 70mph with wind hitting hard on the chest and I am trying to grab the handlebar not to be blown away. The Low Boy on your F3T seems like a similar height like a BRP Route 129 for the F3S, although it seems that yours have some ventilation under it. Any additional comments or recommendations? Thanks.

    Default Windshield for the the F3 S

    At your height the 28" clear or tint would be great. Not to large and you will look over it which it seems like you prefer. Would love to talk to you about your options so if you can please call me at 330-968-4644

    How well does the tint do for you when driving at night? Do much night riding?
