F4 Windshield information needed

[Cruzr Joe]

I am considering an F4 25" windshield for my new F3 Limited, any one have any experience with this windshield and can you comment on it?

THIS IS FROM 2016

I'm happy with mine so far. You'll prolly need an after-market cover, though.

[STELLING MAN]

Joe, I don't have an F3 but I have had a F-4 wide+tall on my RT-S for almost a year now, It Is the best windshield I have ever had In my forty some years of motor cycling. It has been cleaned hundreds of times and still looks brand new, I don't think you can go wrong with an F-4 windshield. When I trade up next year to a newer RT that windshield Is going with me.. See you next year at SF.. Dave

Cruzr Joe​Best windshield I've ever had.

I have the F4 on my 2015 F3 and one of the best features is that I do not experience any back pressure even at speeds "in the higher ranges".
Very durable and comes tinted.
Highly recommended.

I have an F4 25" on my F3-L. It works well for me. So much better than the lipped screen that came with the F3 that directed everything at my head and chest. I am 6'7" and my eye level is about 3" over the top of the screen (although overall height is not as relevant as torso height).

F4 has some great videos on selecting screen height and there are a few threads on here re torso heights for the different height screens.

Plus, you clean it easily with Windex and paper towels with no impact on the screen. Great product and thoroughly recommended.

......and the Nelson Rigg travel cover (also called "half cover") for the RT fits the F3 with 25" F4 screen perfectly. It MUST be the RT travel cover, not the F3 travel cover.

Thanks for all the comments, looks like i will be ordering one.

Joe I have the F4 on my F3 Limited. It is by far the best shield you can buy. And it cleans so easy. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

They make a great windshield and bracket system. I'm 5'8" and got the 28" unit tinted. It works quite well up to 65-70 mph.. after that I got head buffeting....
So I added a


MRA X-Creen Tour Variable Windscreen Spoiler Blade
Item# 1045726

From Revzilla. I got the clamp-on unit and it is FANTASTIC. You can adjust however you like, both height and angle and then easily pop it off. This is what I'll be using while on the highway.. but then pull it off for around town. Best of both worlds.

I don't think even the 32" F4 will get rid of all head buffeting... you need something with an upcurl to totally get rid of it.

The F4 is quality made, doesn't seem to scratch easily.. and looks great on the Spyder F3.

The scratch resistance is phenomenal. The wide one really cuts down the wind on you. Good if you have a pax who wants less wind. Bad if you want wind for cooling. I have the tall & wide one. Thinking about having F4 cut it to stock width as I ride solo. I have Baker Air Wings & BRP adjustable deflectors. The t & w one cuts gas mileage a little, I think, but how much I don't know.

I have the F4 25" tinted with vent. I like everything about it. Short video with it here:

We are in Daytona and just installed the Baker Air Wings for the F3 Touring model for a fellow rider. They look great and Bruce has told me they work great as well. We have them in stock and have free shipping. Sorry not on our web site yet so you will have to call to order since we are at Daytona and Panama City for motorcycle rally events.

Glad we got to talk last night. Thanks for the order.

Met up with Don in Daytona to get the 32" shield installed yesterday. The ride home was hotter, but a lot easier on the neck and shoulders. It didn't get rid of all the buffeting but I was able to ride most of the time with my visor up and sun visor down and no headaches!. I have to look through the shield....clarity is great and the rain drizzle we hit shed off the shield easily.

We also enjoyed the chance to chat with Don and Kim - great people! Maybe we'll see you again in PC!

I received my 21" tinted F4 windshield today. I'm 6' and glad I went with 21". The 25" would have been right in line with the eyesight.

Hey KJWEB

i am trying to decide on whether to get a 21" or 23" F4 for my F3. I am 6' with 33 inseam. I have the Tallboy on now but the buffetting is bad. How do you find the 21"? Had you tried the Tallboy first? Thanks SIERRA24

[Cruzr Joe]

Here we are 4 years and three Spyders later and I am still loving F4 Windshields. They make a great product and have great service, i also now have their windshield wings and love them.

Sierra, which model F3 do you have? Since you are looking at F4, I would advise contacting F4CUSTOMS directly. Don Frank, the owner, is a member here. They have a huge amount of experience in ensuring that you get exactly the right height screen for your needs.

I had a tall and wide with a vent. Worked wonderfully. also stopped buffeting of the passenger.

I have an F4 adjustable 28" on my F-3 and while I can't comment on
the 25", I can comment on the quality. A windshield manufactured from PolyCarbonate
will stand the test of time.
You can't go wrong with an F4.

I've had one on my 2017 F3-Ltd for close to 3 yrs now. Love it and have had no problems (the clearest and hardest material you can get for a windshield). I added the "hand wings" and they were a blessing for cold rides and rain! Also they are nice to add a little air flow (opened up) during the hot months. A plus all the way.

Hahaha......and now we move into the major problem with resurrecting old threads. Some are responding to the question asked by Sierra a couple of days ago, and some haven’t checked the dates and are responding to Cruzr Joe’s original thread question from 2016.

It would be worthwhile starting a new thread for your question, Sierra. .....

......and Rotax, just be wary with sizes. The different F3 models require different height screens to provide similar coverage. The tallest F4 for the Limited and T is 25” while the S screens are taller.
