There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Head Buffeting
I
Hi,
Aftrer changing windshields, and going nuts, because I didn't like the wind management, I bought a Schuberth on sale at Revzilla. It knocked the wind noise down 80% and there is little to no buffeting. A bit expensive, but well worth it. If I'd bought the Schuberth first, I might have left the blue ridge on.

I have the Bell Mag 9 helmet. After reading your post Ron, I think the sun visor may cause some buffeting. It is removable. But, before doing that I want to test the X-creen that I just spent $160 for.

John,
I had the Bell Mag 9 helmet. Nice helmet, but not very quiet. I tried taking the visor off and it didn't matter. Like Ron B. I went to a Schuberth C3 pro.
It's a very expensive helmet, but it's much quieter.
I don't know if it will help with windshield issue though. I'm 6'4" and I just can't find a windshield that works; including the F4 32". I ended up looking right though the edge of the F4 and I just couldn't stand the looks of that tall sail on my beautiful bike. Right now I'm riding without a windshield and it's really quiet with the Schuberth. A lot of wind on the body though.

You have given me a lot to think about and try out. Since I already installed the X-creen, I will see how that works. Then, I may try the mag 9 helmet without the sun visor. If that doesn't work, I may try the Schubert C3.

The Schuberth helmet made no difference for me, so I swapped the stock BRP Blue Ridge windshield for a Gustaffsson middle-height F3 (it bolts to the stock BRP brackets) and that cut down the buffeting about 50%. Next, I will try their full-height version. (Want to buy the medium height from me?)

I will keep it in mind. I want to try out the X-creen I already installed. That is as soon as the rain goes away, which may not be for another week.

I already purchased the X-creen and installed it.

Did it work?

I'm still waiting for the rain to stop to test it. It has been raining non-stop for a week now.

I've also noticed that the price has gone up since I bought mine last year. I paid about $135 for both and then switched to NOT use the clamp because it looks nicer and I wasn't going to take it off. I'll only take the entire windshield off and switch to the cowl. So... I have a clamp kit hanging out somewhere that I should have offered you.
