Custom F3 Blue Ridge Modeled Windsheild

[GaryTheBadger]

Rick, how did the modified screen work out for you? Also, I am 5'10" and want no wind noise, how tall a screen should I order?

Cosmetically you can't tell they cut it. Looks good. I'm 5'-11" and look just above the shield. My advice is to sit on the F3 and determine how "tall" you want it by using a tape measure. Have someone lay a tape measure on the nose of the BR and extend it to determine the total length of the new shield to give you the actual height you want. I tried ordering mine by telling them the height and it didn't work for me. By giving them the total length you can't go wrong. Mine is 27-1/2" long which is about 19" tall (depends on where you measure from). Again it takes two people to install. One sitting on F3 holding the shield. I would mark,dril, and attach to nose connector first. Install on F3 and mark the other 4 holes with it resting on the BR brackets.

Oh yeah no wind buffeting. The wind stream is outside of my shoulders and is above my head (although my hair feels it. Maybe some back draft.).

Little different..

Amber color wind screen...
Not road tested yet, not difficult to drill and mount..

At 5'10" the 17" model works for me. Blocks a lot but not all of the wind.Had looked at the Madstad and F4 but really love the stock look of this model.

I installed the 17 inch Gustaffson windshield and it's too short for my needs. I am 5'10", and wear a full-face helmet and 33db ear plugs. I have hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis and
need to eliminate as much wind noise as possible. The 17 inch did eliminate some, but not all, of the hurricane in my helmet. If I crouch down a couple of inches behind the 17 inch, all noise goes away.
Now I know why they offer the 20 inch version.

So, the 17 inch may go up for sale so I can try the 20 inch. The quality of the windshield is fine, having it mount to the BRP brackets and look OEM is great, and the installation is not difficult, especially if you have a helper.

How much taller is the 17 inch to the BR shield?

Beejay: Measuring the vertical centerline of each F3 Blue Ridge windshield at its longest:

BRP - 21.5 inches
Gustaffson "13 inch" - I was told it's identical to BRP
Gustaffson "17 inch" - 25.25 inches
Gustaffson "20 inch" - I do not know

The Gustaffson web site measurements are while they sit on a bench, for easier comparison across multiple windshields, so the bike and rider variables are eliminated.
The Gustaffson windshields come with two die printed logos, in the lower corners. I was told they will fade away over time. I hope so; it looks like someone twice kissed my windshield with gold lipstick.

Garythebadger Thank you I believe the 17 will do the job for me.
