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.
7jurock on F3S - anyone have a 27inch w/screen?

I recently installed the 7Jurock 27" windscreen on my F3. It's better than the BRP Blue Ridge I had before but, I would like it to be a couple inches taller. The extra width is nice though. I'm 5'8" and find that the wind hits the very top of my Helmet at 50+ MPH and gets pretty loud at 70. I'm going to make some spacers out of black delrin plastic to try to increase the angle a little. I'll report back to let you know how that works out. One thing to be aware of, as they mention on the web site, you need the hardware from the Blue Ridge or the Route 129 windscreen. They don't provide mounting hardware.
Reargards,

PS
I'll try to take a picture tonight and post it later.

thanks..
Thank you for the quick response you are awsome.... I've heard a lot of good things about it and I'm 5'10 so I know it may hit me the same way...the spacers is a great idea and i will definitely take that into consideration. I just want to see what that size windscreen would look like on the F3

I have the exact same windshield as well. Does not look as bad as one would think due to the shape. I will post a picture sometime in the next 24 hours. It is very effective. Way better than the BRP Blue Ridge. You can also easily add a windshield extender to get even more wind blockage. I'll take a picture of that as well.
Edit: Hopefully you already have the mounting hardware otherwise you might be better off going a different route in terms of cost.
Like Quacker said, you need the mounting hardware that can't be purchased separately from the BRP windshield (which sucks).

loL , hopefully nobody changes the channel as you head into a corner .

UPDATE;
So... I tried making some 1" thick spacers from Black Delrin. I think the turbulence on my helmet actually got worse, definitely not any better. That seems to indicate to me that the angle is already at the best position for the height of the windscreen and the only way to improve the turbulence or buffeting on the head is with an extender as AZCanAM said, or a larger winscreen.
Best Regurds,
Greg
PS
You being taller than me might help to get the top of your head above the "Turbulent Zone". The top of my head feels like it's getting pounded and if I sit up a little taller, it sometimes gets a little quieter.

I bought it for my wife just over a month ago. We LOVE those Ultimate Floorboards!! Best mod I've made so far. My wife can now climb on and off easily and I love being able to move my feet around or even stand up momentarily while riding. The windshield has been a bit of a learning experience. We tried the Blue Ridge, the Rout 129 and did not like either one. This is the best so far. Hope I can make it even better with a custom made extension.
I also love the floorboards for the same reasons you stated! I had the Blue Ridge also, but here in Western New Mexico, I do a lot of highway riding and needed more shield, so the 27 inch from 7Jurock fit the mounts and blocks the wind very well, I am about 5’ 7”. Have added LED lighting for visibility and the sway bar for stability. Hope you both enjoy the ride, I Love mine, out riding as often as possible!

Alright. Not to rob the thread, sounds like this sway bar is awesome, is this something you can easily install yourself? I will do some research...
AZCanam,
If you use some ATV ramps to get the front up, found this was the easiest and most stable, placed them on my pickup tailgate, strapped then down and drove bike up the ramps until the front end was up about 25-30 inches off the ground. Once you get front end up, you can get to all the bolts and plastic shields easily. Baja Ron sells a great product will great instructions. Took about two hours to complete, a definite improvement in handling. Good luck.

Sounds good! I would use jack stands or some other way to stabilize the bike! The jack lifts from center and bike can still be wobbly! Be safe, you’ll notice the difference in the handling of the bike. PS, I used the super glue method Ron suggests to hold the spacers onto the links! Just make sure you have them lined up, glue sticks instantly! Happy riding!

Hey AZCanAm! I can't seem to find those exact model floorboards you have on your bike. I'm looking on the Can Am spyder accessories website. Lot's of options, but can't seem to find those. Happen to have a part# ??

I wish I could help you. I bought mine used. The floor boards came with the bike already installed.
