F3L windshield recommendations

[Peteoz]

After measuring like they show on F4 video even the 21inch would be too tall for me to look over.
The Madstad 16inch looks like it may go low enough. Not many choices for 5ft7 rider.

Not many choices for the 6’7” rider either, Bob

Has anyone tried the new show chrome windshield. It looks like the least expensive choice $180 compared to $350-400.

I'm curious about this one too.

I bought mine on ebay, and not sure who it is by. I was told at the spyder rally in Maggie Valley that it was by show chrome. Either way, I loved it. I also bought one from them for my 2014 RT when I had it. Great shield at a good price. You get what you pay for, but more isn't always better. I would recommend them.

Do you have any pictures?

They are not the best pictures, but this is all I have for now. I paid less than $150 shipped.
I typically do not like taller windshields, and the stock one works good for me. But I wanted something taller for the winter months.

I think that one looks a little different from the Show Chrome. Mainly the width at the mounting brackets looks much wider on the Chrome one. I have one on order, so I guess I'll find out!

I believe you are correct. Mine actually appears to be the exact same width and height of a guy that I met in Maggie Valley. He had the F4 on his. I actually like the shape of the Show Chrome one a little better. I would be interested in getting width and height of the one that you have on order. If the quality is anything like the one that they sell for the RT, I think you will be happy.

Here are a couple of pics. It seems good quality with the usual warnings about using abrasive cleaners on plastic. I think it looks pretty good.

I have been thinking about getting this windshield and agree it looks good on your bike.
I mounted the tall boy but still get a lot of wind in and around my helmet and hope to lessen that with this windshield.
Its difficult to tell in your pics, how big is the gap between the dash and front of the windshield compared to the factory short windshield?

It’s 12” longer than the stock windshield. I’m 5’ 11” and I look right over the top.

I really like the looks of that. What is the actual length of the windshield from top to bottom in the longest direction?

I'll try to measure it when I get home today.

I am the same size as Don ( 6' 1") and I have 23" windshield on the same bike as his video. Everything he says in video is true. One thing I might add is the vent is almost a must have ,open it half way and pushes the air up over your helmet.

Looks like the 21inch is still to tall for 5ft 7inch rider. Can it be shortened without ruining it?

That’s interesting, Paul. I have the 25” (set on the Madstad adjustable brackets for a little more height after I got my raised Daylong seat), and I find absolutely no difference whether the vent is open or closed. I wonder if there is actually a physical difference in the setups or if it just comes down to personal perceptions?

RNBOB I believe if you call Don at F4 Customs they can trim the windshield to your specs.

It’s 24 1/4” from bottom to top.
