Be sure to get the flip - it works!

What is the "flip"? I see no reference to that on the order form.

There comes a time in life when you really want to stay in the wind, but single-track vehicles are no longer a practical or safe solution. The Can AM Spyder is a wonderful answer to a difficult situation.

I suggest you not buy from anyone who does not offer the flip. It's a reverse curve at the top of the windshield that directs air up much higher and makes it as if it was a taller w/s. It also shoot rain up and not over the w/s. Try 7Jurock - very reasonable and they offer a flip.

While I hardily agree that 7Jurock is a GREAT windscreen, I disagree that a non flip windscreen should be discounted. I had a 7Jurock on my 2018 RT and loved it. I currently have an F4 on my 2021 RT and love that, too. The F4 isn't offered with a flip.

It's hard not to think about the 7Jurock for half the price of the Gustafsson. I wonder what the additional money buys you? Is it a question of quality, customer service, fitment or what? Has anyone out there ever ordered and installed one of these for their F3?

If you are asking about Gustafson, their pricing scares me away, especially when I have had many years of good experiences with 7Jurock at half the cost.

I think that is the answer I was looking for in part; You have supplied a solid endorsement of the 7jurock screen and a good reason to purchase one.... good pricing and experience. Many thanks for sharing this with me. I will probably order one tomorrow but am still puzzled by the price difference of the two seemingly similar products. Oh well, we are all in the business of saving money.

Would y'all recommend this over a F4 windshield. I'm 6' and the blue ridge will definitely not be enough for me. So it's either the F4 32 coming in at $570 before tax or 27 for $170 from 7jurock. I mean sounds like a no brainer but just wondering.

I think F4 justifies his price with thicker material and a coating so hard, it can withstand a scrubbing with steel wool. Considering that I have never had a problem of any sort with 7Jurock and they are far from being flimsy, I have better things to do with my money than overspend on a windshield I would never take steel wool to a windshield anyway.
7Jurock really won me over when they worked very closely with me in making a custom w/s to my specifications.

Did you have to buy a mounting kit for 7jurock window or did it fit to the factory mount?
-
Gustafsson does offer a recurve on there shields, even though it isn't advertised on there web site yet. Also I think f4 custom also offers one, I know they do for the Ryker. Also you might consider a MadStad windshield they are quite adjustable up and down and front to back. They are very popular.

You might want to double check on that. I could swear F4 said they do NOT offer a recurve of any type.

It utilizes the factory mount, thank goodness. The one that's wider than the brackets simply use a 1/4" spacer between the w/s and the bracket - at the screws, of course. I did get 4 slightly longer screws to accommodate for the spacers.

Hello Ricz, You purchased longer screws to complete the installation? My concern was that the stock screws might be too short if the windshield is any thicker than the stock shield. It would seem that if this is the case, then the vendor would supply them or at least provide a source for them. Also, I thought that based upon the diagram on the vendor's website that the predrilled holes would line up with the new shield? Am I mistaken? Thanks again for your help. My shield has been shipped.

Since I had to add 1/4" spacers under the windshield, I assumed I needed longer screws. It turned out that I didn't, but I bought a set (thanks Ace Hardware) after ordering the w/s, so I used them.
Re the holes; They were a little too short - maybe by 1/4" or so - so I connected one side, leaving the screws a bit loose and I pressed down on the plastic to spread it and inserted the other screws. Sometime after that, I needed to remove the w/s and it had taken a set to the correct spacing!
It didn't bother me that I bought the screws, when the w/s cost only $160 shipped. Now if it cost twice that, as many others do, I would expect they be supplied. I am pleased that I got to use the stock chrome brackets and not have to use additional black ones.

Monk, check out Slingmods windshields for Ryker and also F4 Customs web site for the can am Ryker. Not sure if they offer it for the other Can Am's, but don't know why they couldn't.

I stand corrected. I've only owned RTs and they don't offer the recurve for those. My apologies.

buy a heat gun, some lexan from Lowe's, jigsaw with plastic cutting blades and watch youtube to make your own windshield.

Johnny;
i've mounted my 7JUROCK on my new F3, and it's far superior to the Gust shield... with the GUST, you need to drill the mounting holes, the 7 shield is drilled and it fit PERFECT... it's also wider than the GUST... i did a 100+ mile ride today, and it's just awesome... i got the 27" version and tinted SMOKE, $180 USD and i'm happy as a pig in poop...
