First impressions of the new Gustafsson windscreen for the Can Am F3 and F3s models.
1. No need to have existing Blue Ridge hardware! The new mount brackets available are low and unobtrusive. No staring through mounting hardware. Maintains more of a factory look. 2. Testing the 17" tinted model. Looks great with slight curves and no distortion. I am 5'10" with a 31"-32" inseam and I look over the top of the screen. Was able to travel at Interstate speeds with my helmet visor open and didn't feel any buffeting. 3. Airflow. This is a tough one as different riders have different perspectives on what is comfortable air flow. Some like the gage spoiler. Personally Sitting upright for 400 - 500 miles with little to no air protection is no fun and more like work. Others want full out wind block. Again personal choice but I want to experience the wind just not be beat up by it. This screen fits the bill. The right size and shape to eliminate the buffeting but not so much as to disconnect you from the environment. Good airflow across my body (necessary in hot/humid Florida) but not so much as to be uncomfortable. 4. As soon as work stops intruding and I get more seat time I will share more impressions. www.bikescreen.com
Ordered my 17” today. After a 30 minute conversation with Zach, he talked me into it. I have tried every other screen out there so I figured what the hell. I think the air flow underneath & no euro flip is going to be the ticket. Should see it in about 2 weeks with adjustable hardware. I hope this will end my search.
I installed one on my F3T and am well satisfied with it. 2" taller with a light tint and same factory curve.

This is a sharp looking windshield. I like the simple mounting hardware. Was leaning towards the MadStad, but now, this one is looking a bit more appealing. Decisions -- decisions.
If you want a barn door as a shield order the madstad. I’m sorry but that’s the ugliest shield out there, plus it didn’t cure the buffeting or negative pressure for me. I might have a route 129 up for sale if the Gustafsson works out.
