Has anyone found a better windscreen system than the F4? I don't want to spend that kind of money twice. From what I've read the Blue Ridge is out.

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.
F4 still best choice for an F3?

I have an RT with the F4 and could not be happier with it! Great shield and even better customer service :firstplace:

F4 on the way.
I ordered one yesterday. I'll post how the installation goes. I ordered it over the phone and was impressed by the customer service.

First you have to define "better", mn.......are you talking primarily about reducing helmet buffeting? If you are, then getting the right height and width for your particular requirements is paramount, regardless of the brand. Do you want to look through the screen, just over the screen, or have it low so you get a clean air windblast? Do you want some air around the side of the screen to give you some cool air in summer?
I was running a 25" F4 on my F3-L until I put a Daylong seat on, which lifted me nearly 2" and created buffeting. 25" is the tallest screen F4 make, so I bought the tallest Madstad, which was a little taller and had adjustable arms. Unfortunately, the Madstad airflow didn't work for me, so I removed the screen from the Madstad, drilled 4 holes in the F4 and installed it on the Madstad arms and it works a treat. I am 6'7" with long legs.
Screens are such a difficult item to get the exact coverage you want for your particular riding requirements and build. Personally, I couldn't go past the F4 for me, but others will recommend different brands as the best.:shocked:
I hope this helps a bit.

I actually really love my tinted 25" F4 with the vent. For me, I would prefer a thicker, stronger one that does not flutter as much. But it's a small deal really. I have no air buffet problem with it.

Love my Madstad on my F3Limited. Love the adjustability. Friend just purchased the F4 for his F3 Limited. Like mine better but to each his own.

Do they make one for the F3T? I didn't see one on their website.

Ok, my 2 cents:
The F4 is scratch proof!
My Madstad is chipped and scratched, and Don is making me a F4 to fit. Thank you, Sir!
I scratched the living s**t out of my Calsci, just washing bugs off of it.
The stock windshield is soft, and scratched easily.
get enough rock chips, scratches, divots, dead bug splooge, and otherwise ruin the ability to see, and an F4 suddenly makes perfect sense! Scratch proof! The display runs steel wool over it! All day! NO SCRATCHES!
Have you ever regretted buying the very best? NOPE! Get an F4, and be done with it! JMHO, Joe

F4 Options
I just installed my CalSci last night so I will post in the next couple days how I like it. I have had many motorcycles with different windshields from lots of manufacturer's. As long as I was careful with cleaning I haven't had any problems with major scratching - which seems to be one of the big advantages to the F4. Of course you pay extra for that. The CalSci was a fair bit cheaper so we will see how well it lasts. I tend to flip my toys ever couple years and expect it will be fine till then.

So i think the wife and i are in the market for one too on our F3L. She will be riding it mainly and she is about 5'7. Im 5'9. Prefer to look over, not through. Maybe the 21"?
Im guessing the vents are for buffeting? Also wondering how the F4 in particular helps if at all with redirecting wind away from the hands. She will be taking on the highway to work about 15 miles each way so wind protection is important.
Thanks for any input.

I just finished installing the 32" F4 windshield on my F3. Total time including removing the Blue Ridge was under ninety minutes. On that note, if anyone is running a Blue Ridge and wants a spare, they can have my old windshield if they pay shipping. It's in perfect condition, no scratches or dings. I'd just rather see someone getting use out of it rather than it just taking up space in my garage.
