• 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.

California Scientific Windshield

I have one on a different bike and love it. It removes most of the back pressure and allows for smoother airflow. As the design is similar, I suppose it applies to the Spyder as well.
If and when she is ready, I will not hesitate to install one on the Spyder.
 
Wow! That is one dang nice-looking windshield! :thumbup:
Thanks for the link; I've grabbed and bookmarked them as well! :2thumbs:

I booked marked it too! Haha!

I would like to hear some more reviews first, but it sounds really promising. I would love to get rid of some of the air pressure buffeting.
 
I have ordered one and it should arrive next week. Of course, I will be gone most of next week but hope to install it the following weekend.

I sure hope it is as good as they say because I find my Spyder RT Limited very, very windy and not nearly as quiet as my HD Street Glide.

I have one on my GS and passing Big Rigs is nothing like people discribe!! The hole in the middle relieves a lot of pressure and buffeting!
Its also very nice looking and provides less wind resistance than the larger windshields I was considering?
I also have Elka shocks and a Evo anti-sway bar?
 
If the air that goes through the hole in the windshield that helps break up the vacuum behind it, then where does the rain go if you happen to get caught in a downpour?
 
I ordered the medium shield for mt RT last Friday, got it in two days on Monday.

It measures 4 inches shorter than the stock WS.

I am 6' and it is the perfect height for me, when its all the way down I can just see over the top.
When all the way up for highway travel its the perfect height.

Being wider it offers more protection and the ride is without turbulence and seems better when its all the way up.

Fit and quality was also excellent.

I have put a couple hundred miles with it on and I like it a lot.
 
Thanks for the info! :thumbup:
I got looking at their instructions for choosing the proper height windshield, and started mumbling to myself... :shocked: :opps:
 
Hmm...................wonder if they would sell you the "tinted shorty" without the hole in the middle? :dontknow: Kinda like a "non donut" version.

"The stock Spyder RT windshield is designed for someone about 6'4" tall." I have to agree the stock windshield is just way to high. You get a lot of swaying and pushing around because of this. Not all of it but some of it is attributed to the windshield.

They were definitely cheaper than the BRP offerings... I think that they get as high as $230...
Click on the link; their prices are real prominent.:thumbup:
 
I'd be interested to know if the modified design reduces the "shake" of the windshield as well... That might extend the life of the "dogbone" piece that seems to break on the RT's...
 
I had one on my st 1300 and considered it a must have. The 1300 like the rt has an electric windshield and this allowed the fine tuning of wind and noise control. I called when I bought the spyder last summer to make this one of my first mods but had to wait. I was glad to see this post.

I really like the look of the shield. Question:: Didn't BRP cut the width of the shield in 11 to increase MPG? I thought the original was wider and they made it a little bit narrower.... Someone here will know. If that is the case, does the new wider shield cut down on MPG's??
