• 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.

Wind? What wind?

1,000 miles on XL Calsci and love it. I originally ordered the medium based on chart. But had severe head bobble. Call Mike and returned the meduim for XL...No questions asked. Mike shipped same day that he received the exchange. Awesome customer service IMHO.:clap::ohyea:

Maybe we can get together after I get it and you can see what you think about it. I need to get together with warlock too. Want to check out that ultimate seat. Got a feeling I will have one of those by the end of the year

I've been reluctant to buy a windshield because I love the sporty look of my RS and thought a shield would take away from it. But I have to do something if I want to ride in the off-season.

Option 1.....look sporty and sit in the garage
Option 2.....look less sporty and ride.....
 
I like option 2. The good thing about the windshield is with 4 screws you can change so easy! UPS says my calsci will be here Wednesday.

Do you look over or through the windshield with a medium? I am 5'11" and was trying to decide on the large or xl. I have the BRP 25" touring and the side deflectors but get a terrible exhaust smell because of backdraft. I was told this shield would solve that problem. Do you have the side deflectors?

I look just over the top and I have no deflectors on my bike now. So far, haven't needed any.

Hubby (Adirondack Mike) got me a Cal-Sci windshield for my birthday and he installed it today. Now, I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to ryding in the wind. I dislike, but can manage the sustained winds. The gusts throw me off balance and make me grab on. There have been beautifully sunny, but very windy days when I don't ryde because I hate the wind that much.

I just returned from a ride along the lake where the winds were about 15 mph. I could tell it was windy as the jacket under my arms was flapping. (I had a denim jacket). I kept waiting for the scary gusts. :yikes: If there were any, :dontknow: I didn't feel them. :yes::yes::yes: Both the Spyder and my body were perfectly stable in the wind. In fact, I didn't even feel a need to brace myself in any way. I can't believe I'm hoping it will be windier tomorrow, so I can test it again. :roflblack:

As for the clarity- no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend this windshield. :2thumbs: It is going to make a huge difference in my riding. If you're on the fence about purchasing one for your Spyder, don't be. You won't be disappointed. I LOVE it. :clap::clap::clap:

Ya sold me! I ordered mine on Wednesday. Will be here by Monday. My biggest issue with the stock RT-S windscreen is the NOISE ... from the wind, from the road, and from the muffler. All noises seem to converge right behind the stock windscreen and funnel into my helmet. Am looking forward to more comfortable rides, starting next week.
Thanks for the good review.

:agree: I'm looking for a quieter ride; without having to leave the Missus at home! :roflblack:
 
I just talked to mark at calsci and he said I would need a XL on a RS I am 5'11. I hope everyone on here is right and this is the bomb.com. I will let you know next week when I get it and after old blue gets out of the shop. I have to put it in today, I am getting a check transmission message. :pray: I hope there is nothing big wrong it only has about 3600 miles on it.
 
Good Luck, an I hope that you can spring Old Blue from the dealers soon! :thumbup:
I'm gonna have to talk with you some about "Dune"... ;)
 
WINDSHIELD

I made my own for my 08 GS a long time ago.....then bought the RSS and needed something for that...I lucked out and got a slightly used F-1 ( not made any-more ? ) at a great price......it works for me...it's 30 inches from the "V" to the top with all sorts of curves molded into it.....Mike...:thumbup:
 
Calsci

I'm 5' 11" with a 31" inseam. I received my XL Calsci today and all I can say is:

WOW, WOW and WOW!

I love this windshield! I probably would have been satisfied with the large but decided at the last minute to get the XL since I sit on a seat pad.

You owe it to yourself and your passenger to get a Calsci.
