• 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.

Cold wind striking my hands

For my F3L - 2016, now that it's starting to cool off, I notice the wind coming over the mirrors directed right at my hands. Is there any sort of small wind deflector that would lift that wind, even a few inches? BTW, I have the Baker Airwings and Legwings and they do a great job with this and the rain. But, the hands are getting nailed.
Thanks!
 
My wind protection fix

My hands were also getting pelted by bugs and road debris on my 2016 F3L. I went with the Madstad 16" shield which is 3 inches wider than stock. When I check for where the wind protection ends, it is calm all the way to the end of the handle bars. My ungloved hands stay warmer further into the season and almost nothing is hitting my hands anymore. This shield also stopped the cross wind that was catching my open shield that was happening with the stock one. I'm 5'm and ride with my helmet shield open and the wind hits the very crown of my helmet. I went with the medium grey as it gives the bike a nice accent look and I can easily see thru it at night. With my Baker Wings closed under the mirrors my cockpit is as calm as my RT was.

Try this....

While working the bike shops back when, we handled a bunch of bark busters that were hand protectors for off road and mounted to the bars. I have the RS with the covered bars and they don't work for me. The F3 has open bars so should work. I use several gloves from regular to heated....:thumbup:
 
OK, those are some viable options, maybe just use them during the really cold months. I was hoping there was some minimalist solution. It's like everything is protected, when you want it to be, except that very small spot at the knuckles.
Thanks
