I currently have the BRP 129 windshield which is 16 inches from top to bottom on my F3-S. I am 5' 8" tall and I taped a ruler 11 inch higher than the BRP 129 windshield. That brought the height to 27 inches, I sat on my bike and i can see over the top about 2 inches. I think that is the right height for me. My question is, does anyone out there have the 27 inch JuRock windshield on there F3-S and about the same height as me. If so can you please give me feed back on if it blocks the wind noise. My issue with windshields is wind noise.
Or would the 25 inch work for my height?
Also how did the pre drilled holes on the JuRock line up with the stock BRP mounts, did you have to ream out the holes or re drill. I do not want to do any modifications.
Greatly Appreciated

I can answer some of your questions. I'm 5' 11" and I chose the 27" 7JuRock w/Lip. I look over the shield which is what I wanted. The wind noise is virtually eliminated with the shield. At your height I believe you would be looking through the 27" shield and would have little to no wind noise.
Here is a video that was just completed by one of our dealers. I would suggest that our 28" would be great for you. Keep in mind the F4 Customs is made from High Optics Polycarbonate, Sheds Rain, and cleans with any glass cleaner and paper towels.
The F4 is also adjustable.
Give us a call if we can help.

The mounting holes on the 7JuRock lined up perfectly with the BRP brackets.
Thanks for your input NHOJ
I could still see over the windshield with the mock setup I did using a ruler. I contacted 7JuRock and they sent me pictures of the dark grey which you can see through. They did mention that at night it is harder to see through, i don't ride at night so that is not a problem. My biggest issue is wind noise and I hope this fixes that problem.
They told me the 27" is the biggest seller.
I ordered the 27 inch in dark Grey, can't wait to get it mounted and then have my bike sit for 3 months waiting for the snow to go away LOL.

I don't understand why people buy motorcycles then don't want the wind. I have been riding since 1945 and lots of the enjoyment is the wind in the face. It gives a feeling of freedom and flying like no other machine can give. I do have a Madstad shield to protect me from the full body wind which at speeds is hard to cope with but overall if you don't like wind and a bit of noise stick with a car. Maybe a convertable will do.

Mr Bones nothing to understand, I have been riding motorcycles for 46 years so I know a little about wind noise. You being so knowledgeable then you should know that there is clean wind and dirty wind.
Dirty wind is a turbulent wind which creates wind noise. I have ran my F3-S without a windshield and there is no wind noise it was great but tired me out on long rides. I have no problems riding 12 to 16 hours a day on long rides.
So i put on a Route 129 windshield and it blocks the wind on the body great but created a hell of a lot of wind noise.
Don't go tooting your horn on this site and make idiotic comments telling people to ride in a convertible.
Why do you think every forum talks about windshields!

I don't think he's tooting his horn.
He's stating his opinion just as you have stated yours.
If it's OK for you to do that, why isn't it OK for him to do the same?
It's a forum for pete's sake, people have and share differing opinions-one is no more correct than another.

but overall if you don't like wind and a bit of noise stick with a car. Maybe a convertable will do.
I thought it went beyond an opinion, but that's only what I think.
You also have to admit, there is always a lot of discussion and buying going on when it comes to windshields. Can we all be off
base ?

Forums are great to share information, and I don't like wasting money by making mistakes on buying the wrong windshield. If you read the posts there was a guy who had posted the information I was looking for and I thanked him for that.
"of Dave" if you read my first post its was about information I was seeking on the 7JuRock Windshield only. I did not ask for information on should I get a convertible because I hate wind noise. His comments were not appreciated as he posted irrelevant information , if he had information about the JuRock windshield then I to would of thanked him for it.
The bottom line is I received the information I was looking for with help from a member in this forum, I did order the windshield, Spyderlovers forum is great. Your comments are irrelevant because they did not address the 7JuRock windshield. If you want to share information stick to the topic!

Thanks for the information F4 Customs, I have looked at your product and it too is a great product. If you sold a F3-S windshield pre drilled that fit the BRP mounts then I would have probably bought one.

What he said. The F4 mounting system just doesn't compliment the overall Spyder look, just looks out of place.

You lighten up you had nothing to contribute about the 7Jurock windshield so why are you even commenting. You only commented on my reply to a member who commented on if you don't like wind noise get a convertible. His reply had nothing to do with the 7JuRock windshield either.
Read the posts again and maybe just maybe you can understand.
The best you can do to contribute to the the windshield question is say lighten up. Wow
Seems you and mrbones are the only 2 that went off topic by replying irrelevant information! by saying "if you don't like wind get a convertible" & "Lighten Up"
Simple solution Reply relevant information about items posted!

right you are
little thin skinned I see or maybe it's time to switch to decaf?
I'm done-I'm lightening up
Sorry if I offended. Just stating an opinion. And kidding about the car. But if you took it seriously thats your problem not mine. I know nothing about the windshield you mentioned so should have not commented then I would not have offended anyone. Ah shucks!
I installed the 7 Jurock 27 inch dark smoke windshield " had to wait for highways to clear from snow and ice"and have been testing it out. It reduced the wind noise by a huge margin. No more ear plugs, glad i purchased it and there was no problems installing, fit perfectly and looks good. I replaced my Route 129 with this one, glad i did.
I'm 5'9" and considering the same windshield. You stated you were satisfied with the 27", but I was wondering, are you looking thru it or over the top edge? I really don't like looking thru a helmet shield and a windshield and was considering the 25", but like you, I hate wind noise even more.

I can look over it by quite a bit, the top edge is well below my site line and I am 5' 8"
I have had a F-4 Customs windshield on several of my Spyders and am very happy with the quality and looks of these windshields, I like the fact that they are a high tech polycarbonate and not acrylic, as the acrylic is not as scratch proof or as durable as the polycarbonate. Check them both out thoroughly before you put your favorite face behind their protection.
my old mug is not pretty but I need to protect it the best I can.

I just installed the 25 inch 7jurock shield. Could of used another set of hands to install. At 5' 9 I thought about the 27, but was not going to cut down if I had to look thru it. The 25 is about 3 inches below sight level, so that is fine for me. Very good product. Tim Also put on Lamonster brake lowering rod, wow, this is great!
To make this relevant I know nothing about jurocks.
It's a little funny that I saw a whole lot of raw nerves in the posts in this thread.... I began to wonder.... is it winter?? Then I looked at the dates. Dead of winter! Resurrected thread! Just goes to show.
Update; Took a 200 mile trip today with the windshield 25inch and it it a bit short. I will have to live with it as they say at 7jurock, you mount it, you own it. Fair enough. tim
