I recently purchased a 2013 RS and was looking into replacing the windshield with a Calsci, anyone know if they are compatible with the 2013? While looking for upgrades I've noticed a lot of items will not work with my year spyder for one reason or another, its starting to get irritating. :mad:

Give the aftermarket some time to catch up. The 2013's just landed.

I have a CALSCI windshield, don't buy one. They not a finished product. You will need the tools and skills to fit and finish the windshield. The windshield vibrates at high speeds. They have a hole in the lower part of the windshield that lets cold air in the winter and water in when it rains. I wish I would have bought the BRP touring windshield. If you buy it from Custom Dynamics and if you return it there is a restocking charge. That's IMHO.

Oh ok I thought they were like cars coming out almost a year in advance. I wondered why there was such a lack of aftermarket products for them, thanks. :-)

??? I read one case, maybe yours that a windshield arrived with unfinished (laser cut) edges. Outside of that case, most of us CalSci owners have been pretty darned happy with them. Their customer service has been awesome as well for those who needed to return them for other sizes or unhappy with them.

just my opinion but I tried 2 sizes of the calsci- the ex large & got bad head buffeting. then switched to the tinted shorty & it broke on the 1st ryde. it was a pain in .... to return because custom dynamics didn't believe it broke at 1st. I would recommend- spend the extra & get a Madstad adjustable one. I Talked to the owner direct & he set me up

I also have a 25" Cal Sci. It is perfectly cut and would never give it up. I put it on for the winter but will leave it on year round. I like the extra protection.

I would say yes. It has the same body style as mine. I would call Calsci to confirm. Good luck.

Thanks for the recommendation of the Madstad, I actually spent the extra cash and purchased theirs. I have been riding with it for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. The adjustments that can be made are a great feature. Thanks again!
