F3 Windshield from F4 Customs status

[F4 Customs]

Folks, Here is an update for those folks that are waiting for the F4 Windshield for the F3. We have had some great results and the windshield is complete and the hardware is just about completed. The testing will be completed this week. The air flow is awesome.

The windshield will be manufactured in two different heights. We also will over clear or tint. One height you will be able to look over and the other you will look through.
The hardware is made in such a way you will have adjustability of these two windshields so you can tweak it just right.

I have attached some photo's for your preview and would like to have your opinions sent to donfrank@f4customs.com.

The shield is made from our High Optics Polycarbonate, Sheds Rain, and is Highly Scratch Resistant due to our patented coatings.
Starting June 8th we will be taking Pre-Orders for shipment approx. the end of June.

Thanks for your input

Honest opinion and you know what they say about opinions.....too big for me. I'll stick with the BR and at 6'2", I'm very happy with it's look and performance...with a full size helmet and a half helmet w/small shield. Good luck though, it sounds like there are plenty of folks willing to purchase your product.

[Chupaca]

looks like a winner. Lots of folks are knocking at your door .... great job...

Surprised no one commented about the Air Wings ?

Shocks on a windshield?

[stebrock]

Have the Blue Ridge installed now. The extra height on yours is great however the shape makes it look large and bulky. Obviously aftermarket. What are the extra holes for in the lower center attachment point? Is there going to be a cover plate fot the screws? Also this appears to eliminate the ability to mount speakers on the "rails" as Lamont did.

It's probably a prototype not finished product.
Guess you have to make choices Windshield or speakers.

[thugsmasher]

Price????

These are just pictures of the prototype. We will make one shorter and one taller

I understand that it looks big but the performance is great The extra holes in the lower will not be there This is a prototype There will be cover plates for the front also

Not yet

Just a question but why add a new bracket for the arms to connect to rather than using the windsheild mount bolt BRP provided at either end of the instrument cluster?

Also be aware that that rail your bracket is screwed to is plastic, not metal on the F3 base model and will not support a heavy load.

Looks good, can't wait to get mine.

WE can not use the existing brackets as the mounting points are to low for our shield and any attempt to make a adaptor did not work.
I will look into the mounting a little closer but we are still in prototype.

Different strokes for different folks - please get rid of the BRP breakaway/smakeaway mounting bracket

[Nyparrothead]

As an ex goldwing rider I have to say F4 shields are the most durable out there. Most aftermarket and some OEM stuff will scratch if you get to close to it with a rag made of just about anything. Made the mistake one time on a cross country trip on the wing and cleaning the OEM shield to get rid of some of the bug guts. The shield was ruined.....



The F4 is the real deal IMHO and I can't wait for it to come out. Now don't get me wrong, Madstad does great work, in fact if given the opportunity I would use the F4 shield with the Madstad adjustable bracket. The best of both worlds

Any more news of the F3 custom windshield from F4 Customs?
thanks!

[F4 Customs]

OK we are making parts now and will start shipping on July 27th and July 28th. We had one of the forum members test the shield during a long several thousand mile ride and he testified it was great and in fact I spoke to him on his blue tooth while traveling down the road. I have included a picture or two that he had sent me. there will be more pictures available as I get them and you can contact me direct at donfrank@f4customs.com.
The hardware is included in the price and is black powder coated.
The 28" Clear is $500 and the Tint is $510
The 32" Clear is $550 and the Tint is $560.
We are taking orders now via phone only as we have not had time to get it up on the web site yet. 330-968-4644
You will really enjoy the ride this shields provides.
Don

I am the guy in the pictures now with 2700 miles of experience with the F4 windshield. It was tested through heat, sleet(they called it hail), heavy rain and higher speeds. When passing on I-90 I reached speeds under 100 MPH.

I can finally hear the intercom, XM Radio and Phone calls at highway speeds. I spoke, via Bluetooth headset, with Don at F4 when on I-90 doing 80. I had never experienced any of the above at speeds over 50 on this bike. I can also read the Highway signs because my helmet is not shaking so bad because of the buffeting. What an amazing ride!

The windshield did not shake except for the gravels roads we were on to get to our condo.

Can't say anything negative but thanks to Don for letting me test it out and also providing a solid mount(using the windshield bracket)for the Sound System in progress!
