Lots of wind on my new F3T. X-creen?

[Spider-man]

I really get beat up at highway speeds on the F3 with the little curved standard windshield. Do I have to replace the windshield to remedy this or would an X-creen be sufficient? I'm about 6' tall.

You're gonna need a bigger windshield...
But this is the bike that you bought: it's not an RT!

Never understood why they put those small windshields that do nothing on most of the F3's. I had an 08 GS and 09 RS--both came with "mini" windshields. Had to get creative in those days--found aftermarket and ended up with big as the RT's of today.

The OEM's would have made nice helmet visors and not much else.

I think the X-creen will be a big help.
Have had them on a couple bikes and will be adding one to my F3.
I prefer the bolt on version. It allows for better positioning adjustment in my opinion.
There are two sizes-the "sport" and "touring". The touring is about 15 inches wide.
Most people feel they need to be mounted so they are much higher than the windshield they attach to. Not true, a couple inches is all that's needed to move the air over your head. And the angle should pretty much match the angle of the stock windshield (not near vertical as many do) to get best results.
They are adjustable with an allen wrench so you can fine tune it while out on a ride.
They are on Ebay and Twisted Throttle has them also.

Fortunately the Stock windshield is perfect for me on my 2017 F3T but I am only 5'4". I had the x-creen on my 2015 F3S with the Blueridge and it worked great. I liked the x-creen because it was adjustable and I did not like the huge after market windshields that were available for the F3S. I want to go riding not sailing. I had it on for 2 years and when I took it off there was not a single scratch or scuff mark (I used the clamps) on the Blueride. I think the X-creen would be your cheapest option.

I don't mind the size of the stock windshield on the F3T but I hate the curve at the top, it really distorts things. For now while it is hot I'll stick with it but I'll likely look fir other options this winter

You'll need BOTH.

Running a 28" F4 shied and the X-Screen.... works great.

I have owned my F3T since late April. The stock screen seems to work for me, but I actually just ordered a larger one today for the cooler temps that come with winter.

Can you say, "F4 Customs"? By far the best option for aftermarket windshield for the F3T.

To eliminate "Bobble Head Syndrome," I went with the X-Creen and am very satisfied with it. I like being able to adjust the angle for more/less ventilation and although it's only been installed since spring, the adjustability enables me to catch more of a breeze on those hot days, yet keep the wind from rattling my pea brain around! You have to "play" with it to find the angles that work best for you - I've found the "sweet spot" and the air just seems to flow over my helmet, eliminating the turbulence as well as the wind noise. The clamp on version is the one I purchased - - I wanted to make sure it worked before committing to a bolt on installation and it's very secure and stable. I'm 5'4" and I can still look over it - - my Honey has the RT and I just don't like looking thru that tall windshield. I have a 2016 F3 and bought the "touring" style X-creen.
