Windshield advice

[frj322]

Hi folks...
Well, we've got our driver and passenger backrests installed on our new F3S and also the passenger armrests (went with the factory BRP stuff) and now its windshield time.
I've been looking at the F4 customs and also the Madstadt windshields and I like them both. I'm interested in reducing the "slammed in the chest and face" feeling while trying to maintain adequate ventilation. I've read thru lots of information and threads and can't seem to settle on one or the other. My wife and I would be riding 2 up most of the time and we're both 5'09" tall. I really don't want to look thru the shield for fear of distortion but I don't want to deal with helmet buffeting either (yeah, I know, difficult situation). I'm also very concerned about what's been described as a "zone of negative pressure" that forms behind the windshield at speed.
Can anyone offer any advice?

As always, thanks for the help in advance...

I have the F4 in 28" tinted. This works well for me. I am 5'8", but tall in body, so I look over it. My wife who is 5'9" is short in body and has to look through it.
You will need to know what body size you have to determine the correct size you need.

Thanks for that,
Do you get any air flow for cooling behind it? How about the vacuum zone that may or may not be there?

The F3 will allow a lot of air to get to you no matter what shield you put on it so cooling will not be an issue.It does keep the head buffing down to an acceptable level. I can ride for 12 hours and have no neck issues. I had tested an F3 with the BRP shield that was producing head buffing so bad that I was getting a sore neck after 10 min. I have not experienced a vacuum zone, and since I ride solo I am unable to comment on how it effects a passenger.

My advice, check out the Lamonster Freedom Shield windshield. I love mine. You’ll also save over $150 on the price with free shipping. Shipping alone on the other windshields is over $50.

Thanks for that suggestion. I'd looked into that but didn't see one offered for the F3S. Am I missing something somewhere?
