• 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.

Tell us more please - top shield details Manufacturer/model?

Number of inches top raised/tilted? - did you fab or buy ready made shield front tilt raising bracket?

Wind effect to head, body, hands and noise at highway speeds?

Your height/inseam?
 
I made the bracket to raise the rear 2 inches. I also welded small tabs to upper part of bracket so it bolts up tight and doesn;t just pinch the rubber washer. Far more sturdy than original. The windshield extension is RS-S windshield that came that bike in 2011. I just polished the black paint off and mounted where I thought it would work best. I'm 5' 10 the improvement is amazing. I ride around here on freeway at 75mph or side roads at 55mph. It would be nice if it was a little wider at the top, but there is only slight buffeting without a helmet, and none with one. I was going to go with F4 customs, but right now this does everything I want and it didn't cost anything. I clamped the RS windshield to the Blueridge and used the existing holes to mount. I used SS button head bolts with SSwashers, and SS nylok nuts. Hope this helps.

Great - thank you for sharing!
 
Wow, neat! I realized (too late) that the Blue Ridge windshield I bought is not tall enough. Maybe I will try something like this! Thanks for the idea :)
