    Default OEM(?) F3 windshield - is this adjustable or not?

    I'm assuming this is the OEM windshield. Please let me know if it is not.

    This is a 2017 F3 and it is pretty basic (no saddle bags or rear trunk).

    It is definitely too low for me (I am looking at buying this vehicle). I'm just wondering if the windshield is adjustable at all. It looks like it might be. Is anyone familiar with this type?

    Or a larger one that I could replace it with while using the same mounting points (hopefully)?

    Sorry not sure if oem or not, however that lip at top does fair amount of deflection at least on the ST it does. Believe look at F4 on vendors list (home page)can show you more options

    I don't think it's OEM .... BRP didn't make any with a LIP .... Windshield's are trimmable .... Mike

    Ok, thanks for the responses. I will compare it to some of the aftermarket ones to see if I can find a match. Then maybe I can figure out if it is adjustable.

    Can you take a pic of the windshield mounting? The windshield is definitely aftermarket due to the flip on the top but what mount will determine next step.

    I for one don't think it's aftermarket, it's a Blue Ridge Windscreen, provided by Can Am, I have the same on my F3s, if you are in the market for a bigger screen, look at 7Jurock, they offer a shield, using the same brackets as o.e.m. Can Am windshield, and they have them in different sizes, even in other colours

    on a sidenote, the Blue Ridge Windshield, is not adjustable...

    Of course it''s adjustable - ON and OFF... LOL - Sorry, I had to throw that in... I have that windscreen on my stock 21 F3Ltd. It is definitely NOT adjustable on mine. The recurve does push a certain amount of air up, but if you're over 5'10", it won't help. I'm 6' and I get it right in the face. Its a great windscreen for town and running around, cruising, etc., but if you are getting out in the wind, I'd highly recommend F4. They make shields and air wing kits for Spyders from 18 to 25 inches, tinted or not, vented or note, with or without air adjustable air wings. Great people to deal with!

    Don’t think there is a “flip” on that one. Just looks like it from reflection of the background (sky, truck, truck shadow, etc).

    The blue-ridge Windshield has a Lip/Flip, it's definetely there, not a reflection/mirage, the flip is there
