windshield

[ussoldier]

I'm with you. I personally don't like looking through a windshield and the aesthetics of most of the aftermarket shields do not appeal to me. I ride with a route 129. I like being in the wind.

I am the same with you. I look at the after market products, and I am not really interested in the design. I would rather look over it than through it. Yet, I was wondering do you get the Bobble head affect? Do you get exhausted in your upper arms and upper body? I reviewed about others who had the Bobble head affect and their windshields. Most of them were over 5'8, and I am 5'4. I just want to clarify that I am planning to get the F3-S model.

Here is a video to see these type of windshields. I guess everybody saw it, but I do like the youtube videos:

I have a little bit of buffeting at higher speeds but overall I don't mind it. If you don't have a windshield you do have to hang on pretty tight.

Well, I would like to know how tall are you Tommy? For your information, I am 5'5. I think it is different for everyone on the height and the windshield that people get.

Thank you, I finally found someone who could tell me about the Route 129. Here is my question, because of your height. I am 5'5 and athletic build.

1) Did you have the bobble head affect with the Route 129?

2) With the Route 129 protect you from the wind? I heard that without the windshield it can be exhausting on your arms.

3) I've heard from another guy who is 5'4, and the Blue Ridge windshield from the very top leveled his eye.

The truth is I want to get a windshield so it does NOT tire me out, but I also wanted it NOT to do the bobble head affect. I like the way its looks on the F3-S model. And, I would rather look over it rather than through it.

I want the feeling of riding a motorcycle. I have never rode a motorcycle, and I am at this age where I want to ride a bike to get that feeling. Sure, I could get a motorcycle. But, I work at a Hospital and I deal with individuals who have been on 2-wheel motorcycle accidents.

I was wondering if you can give me an advice. I just bought a 2016 model triple black for $21,470 out-the-door. I was unable to get it lower in California. They told me that this must be a BRP demo ride or their loosing money. I showed quote value and the break down. The dealers told me to go back to that place to get it. I feel like I didn't get a great deal, on the other hand, I think I got good deal. I would have to agree with the others who do not live in California. California have so many rules and the prices are so jacked up.

Thank you, I would get an honest opinon about this.

BRP isn't losing money on these sales... I guarantee that....

Whatever shield you get, the only way you'll get rid of the bobble effect is to add something like this:

Makes all the difference in the world....

Here is another video for the Blue Ridge Window. I am not sure how to measure it from the bike.

Aesthetics and functionality are not intertwine. The same reason you dress for the fall not for the ride.

If you see the old Harley riders riding big-O twins on full squid mode have 24" to 26" windshield. The only way to remove buffeting 100% is to see through the windshield. If you wear a full face helmet and your line of sight is below your screen, rain plus fog with test your sphincter at night.

I once had a collection of windshields for 3 bikes I owned. I finally gave up and almost bought a BMW R1200RT so I could have control of the screen on demand. It is one of those things about the freedom of a motorcycle. The Spyder already solved the balance and reach the ground issue. Now all you have to do is put a gigantic plastic sail in front of you to block all that air which ironically for most, was the very reason they wanted a motorcycle in the first place....

You know that actually makes sense thank you.

Here is what Capt Bob had to say about the 28" Clear.
Tried the BRP Blue Ridge windshield for my F3-S. Possibly the worst windshield I have ever used, EVER! The buffeting was beyond belief and I am 5'7". Went to a 28" F4 clear windshield and possibly one of the best I have owned. The mounting is secure, tools free adjustable and looks consistent with the design of the F3. Luckily for you, they are having a 15% off sale and free shipping for Turkey Day.

I am curious how is the 28" F4 Clear windshield? I was planning to get the Blue Ridge windshield. I am 5'5, but I would rather look over it rather than through it. I like the Blue Ridge, because of the look on the bike.

Thank you, but I decided to get the Route 129. I like to have the wind, and feel the freedom of what it is like to ride a motorcycle. I bought the F3-S not for touring, but for my pleasure of feeling that freedom. Eventually, I will upgrade to go for the see through.

I have seen sportsbike rider uses less windshield. I can do the same, by adjusting my feet onto the passenger pegs. It's pretty cool. And, I really don't care what people think.
