    Default Anything good to say about the Blue Ridge windshield?

    I am looking for a shield for my 2024 F3S and the only one available at this time is from Can Am. Many people seem to have been unhappy with the Blue Ridge. Anyone here actually happy with one on their F3?

    I would think that there would be a number of aftermarket shields. F4, Gustafson, and Madstad come to mind. My 2015 F3 had a Madstad shield, and I loved it.

    Not for the 2024 model. It was a slight redesign.

    Yes, but I am asking about the Can Am Blue Ridge windscreen.

    The Blue Ridge is okay at lower speeds but at highway speeds it will buffet your head quite a bit. That is solved by adding a deflector like Xcreen on top of it.

    Do a search. There's plenty of info available on this forum about the Blue Ridge windshield. Most not good.

    We have a ‘24 F3S with 10,980 miles. Blue ridge windshield. My wife’s machine. She is 5’ 2” and doesn’t complain about buffeting. However, about two weeks ago small cracks started forming around the lower mounting screws. No, I didn’t over tighten them.

    I emailed Gustafsson plastics to ask if they have a windscreen to fit the ‘24, and they said they did.

    I started with a Blue Ridge. The quality was good. However at six foot two it dumped the wind right on my chest at freeway speeds. I replaced it with a thirty two inch F-4 Custom.
