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.
Anything good to say about the Blue Ridge windshield?

Not for the 2024 model. It was a slight redesign.

Yes, but I am asking about the Can Am Blue Ridge windscreen.

The Blue Ridge is okay at lower speeds but at highway speeds it will buffet your head quite a bit. That is solved by adding a deflector like Xcreen on top of it.

Do a search. There's plenty of info available on this forum about the Blue Ridge windshield. Most not good.
We have a ‘24 F3S with 10,980 miles. Blue ridge windshield. My wife’s machine. She is 5’ 2” and doesn’t complain about buffeting. However, about two weeks ago small cracks started forming around the lower mounting screws. No, I didn’t over tighten them.
I emailed Gustafsson plastics to ask if they have a windscreen to fit the ‘24, and they said they did.

I started with a Blue Ridge. The quality was good. However at six foot two it dumped the wind right on my chest at freeway speeds. I replaced it with a thirty two inch F-4 Custom.
Just got one with the tint option for my F3. Works great and was a fantastic purchase. I just wish I could find a handguard option for wind protection for my F3 that doesn't require me to remove my LidLox.

I have Barkbuster's Storm handguards with Lidlox on my 2020 F3-S. All I had to do to make it work was find the right length screws at the hardware store. PM me if you want I can measure them.
Like Yabbadabbadoo stated, the Blue Ridge with X-Creen topper. I'm 5'10". Yes, the stock Blue Ridge dumps air in my faceshield height: I don't mind for riding in heat. For road trips of 2 - 5,000 miles, I've added an X-Creen "touring" windscreen extension. I've ridden in heat (Death Valley), rain, sleet and snow with the X-Creen and it provided ample protection for me. Plus, I don't like the looks of, or riding with, a barn-door sized windscreen; others with argue the other way. Different strokes.
BTW, I blacked out the Blue Ridge using a spray-on, pealable finish, like Plasti-Dip. On our F3-T and -L models, I used a satin-finish spray paint. At our heights in the saddle, we don't look through the windscreen, so a more durable finish was selected.
