    Default RT tall windshield install/comparison

    Just thought I'd post a pic showing the difference between the stock and BRP tall shield. I'm 6'2" and its above my forehead in the up postion. Just enough over the top in the down. The closable vents are pretty nice! It was an easy install.

    I'm not sure why anybody wants a tall windshield above your eye level. Supposedly, you look over the top of the windshield, not through the windshield. Just my experience over the decades.

    To each his own, but I agree with trong and I'm 6'3". The larger windshield also increases the size of the barn door you're trying to push through the wind.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Can the new closable vent be purchased and installed on my 2021 windshield?

    Since I've owned a few myself and the to each his own comment. The adjustability of the windshield and the fact that I ride a lot when its cold make the difference. I ride many 25 degree days amd nights. When its hot, I look over the top when its down. But when the temp dips, my decades of cold weather riding say its worth it.

    I'd agree to each their own. I had the stock and at it's highest point I'm looking at the line of the top of the shield and it wasn't keeping enough off my wife 2up. I'd agree about keeping the cold off up here in Colorado, has made a huge difference for us. Like being able to close off the vents when needed, Big help in rain

    I just put F4 tall and wide on my 21. My wife was getting all the wind in her face and didn't like it. It makes about 2 MPG difference in mileage but now the wife is happy. I did get the optional vent and I found leaving the vent open, I don't notice a lot of difference in handling. When shut you can feel the wind pushing the big screen.
