windshield

Which windshield do most people use? I am only interested in OEM products. I'm 5-8, stock handlebars, position 4 on foot pegs.
Thank You

I don't know of an OEM for F3. I think some have used the Blue Ridge but I hear a lot of complants. I use a Madstad and love it!

The stock OEM that comes with the F3-L out here (with the lip), was supposedly designed to reduce back pressure and lift the worst of the wind over your head. It didn't work for me as most of the wind hit me in the chest/head, but I am quite tall. Some are happy with it, some aren't

Which model F3 do you have and which windscreen is currently on it?

F4 28" will work great for you.....they are a site sponsor.....great shield... basically will not scratch... adjustable... works great.

I'm 5'8" and got the tinted version. Over 70 I get some head buffetting, so I added an MRX-A adjustable unit on top of the F4 if I'm going to be on the highway for long periods of time.

Have you checked out the brp accessories catalogue?

For the f3/f3s they offer Route 129 and Blue Ridge screen, plus a gauge spoiler.

Catalogue will tell you what's available for the f3t/f3ltd.

You have to make your own decision, as it depends whether you like to look over or through a windscreen.

Eg blue ridge is no good for me as the top is right at my eye level, but taller husband likes it. We both look over the screen, being old sports bike riders and wearing full face helmets.

The Blue Ridge with the X-Creen tour works for me. But if you're starting out, don't buy those. I got the Blue Ridge when I didn't know better.

After reading all the suggestions, I decided on the 32" F4 windshield and look through it. I can peep over the top if I really stretch up. It has really cut the wind down, so I'll have to see how it is in the hot summers here. Otherwise, it works great and great folks to deal with!!

Just curious why you are only interested in OEM windshields? I've ridden on an F3 with the BRP windshield that has the curve at the top and it is horrible. If you look through it everything is distorted. There are a lot of quality windshield manufacturers that make shields for Spyders and folks seem to like them better than the BRP ones.

I've considered aftermarket ones and din't like the look.

It's really hard to help you....

Do do prefer to you look through or over a screen?

If 'over' brp choices are gauge spoiler or route 129

if 'through' the blue ridge may suit.

If if you want a taller one, go aftermarket.

I use raised-up gauge spoiler, husband has blue ridge with xcreen.

we both look 'over' as both wear helmets as is the law here

as well as through or over, wind buffeting affects people very differently...

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:

[TommyBwell]

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.

[Firefly]

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.

I use a Madstad and I don't have a problem with it. There are some advantages with that screen. You can adjust the angle and height on the road without tools. The mounting bracket is very solid so I can attach the GPS on it so it is directly in front of me just above the instruments.

The F4 adjusts without tools as well.

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.

[KJWEB]

I bought the F4 Custom 21" tinted for my F3T. I love their windshields.

[Tazzel]

If you already have the Blue ridge windshield then to save money try getting the Xcreen tour to place on top of the BR. I agree with some about the aftermarket ones are ugly and the bracket system for them is even worse looking.

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.
