2015 F3 BRP shield mount DIY mods no buffeting, good wind protection

[spyderyderjim]

Hi All,
My 2015 F3S BRP Blue Ridge shield mod raised up 6", moved rearward 8" with DIY Aluminum side mounts/brackets.
No head/helmet buffeting at 80 mph on Hwy 10 Arizona.
BRP F3 raised up shield deflects the wind over top of helmet with mod, no wind buffeting.
BRP F3 shield 16 1/2" height from top of center handlebar mount to top of shield, 24" from top of shield to front of eyeglasses; (about same closer shield position as an RT).
Another option for BRP F3 shield.
Bottom line: it works well after the DIY mount mods!!
Enjoy.
Jim

Hi,
I DIY built/cut/drilled holes from 13" long x 1" wide x 2" wide x 1/8" thick Aluminum angle; 1/4" thick x 1" wide x 10" long Aluminum flatbar for braces.
The 1 photo shows Aluminum mounts after cut/trimmed/holes drilled/braces bent at bottom to attach to cluster rail bolt.

That looks like a good solution. That is about where the windshield should be!

Do your handle bars not hit in a full turn?

No, my F3 handlebars fit into the BRP shield cut outs on each side when turning full left or right, while sitting.

As you can see by this photo of F3 handlebars in full lock left
there is plenty of room for my handlebars to turn without hitting BRP shield.
It looks like BRP F3 engineers designed this shield to fit higher, with the shield cutouts to clear full lock handlebars.
F3 shield just needed to be mounted about 6" higher & 8" more rearward toward driver, (like on an RT Spyder shield position).
