I have the 21" and no buffeting...great windshield...tinted....was going to get a vented one but with the large opening at the bottom so open , didn't think a vent would help much

2017 F3L. Replaced the low stock shield with an F4 23" tinted, no vent (unnecessary in my view). Buffeting and breeze considerably reduced. Most of wind is now pushed above our heads (both driver and passenger), and we can even ride with open visors, if desired. I'm 5' 10", and see just over top of F4 shield when looking down road, but through shield within 70' to front. No problems. Change-over was quick and simple. Could possibly even have gone with 21". F4 folks are great to deal with.

Why not also have wind protection for you hands and a great shield??
I saw a thread from someone who has an F4 and needed wind and debris protection for his hands. I have the 16" shield in medium grey and can easily see through it at night. This shield has it's own braces and is 3" wider than the stock shield. I get full wind protection for my hands that extends to the end of my bars. This shield adjust up and down as well as in and out angles. This is huge for dialing in for your situation.

Tge wind protection for the hands is something really lacking on the F3T. I got a good deal on the BRP Tall Boy Mid Height windshield and I like it but wish it offered some hand protection. I think I’ll be buying heated gloves.

I run the 25” vented Gerard. I’m 6’7” and it is about level with my chin, and I get good protection with the wind just hitting the very top of my helmet, right where the air intake on the top of my Shoei sits....perfect. The vent doesn’t seem to make any difference from my perspective though.

Thanks Pete,
Does the 25" screen offer much hand protection?
