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.

F3 Winshield heights
I can't remember where but I've seen the following information on-line:
Route 129 = 20"
Blueridge =23"
Route 66 = 25"

Just Playing...
The waiting game is what we're all playing. The F3 hasn't yet shown-up in any dealer showroom so it's just a guessing game until we can experience one first-hand. As for this windshield dilemma, it will sort itself out once we have the bikes (trikes) available. I personally like to see over the top of my windshield but still have it tall enough to deflect bugs and turbulence up and over my head. That's just me, but for that to happen the windshield has to be within an inch or two being up to about the bottom of my nose height-wise. Any higher and I have to look through it, any lower and I get the bugs with air turbulence.

I stand corrected.. I was looking at the Canadian memo which was in centimeters so only 2 inch difference.
Still I wasn't all that happy with 25......

If I remember correctly....
In that video the Blue Ridge windshield didn't even come up to the model/actor guy's chin. I don't know how tall he is but I'm a six footer and that doesn't look tall enough to do any good for me. Regardless I'll still have to actually sit on an F3 to see where the tops of different windshields are in relation to my face.

Official Word...at least from my dealer
Parts managers says all of the Route 66 windshields he ordered (including for stock) were cancelled saying "discontinued." I just ordered the Blue Ridge...he has no information saying these will be delayed (as mentioned in an earlier post.)
And the saga continues...

This is Don at F4 Customs and we are working on developing a windshield at this time but need some input from you riders.
What would you see as the best height?
What width?
Tinted and Clear is a given.
Would you want a vent?
We are looking for someone to work with us on development so if you are interested call Don Frank at F4 Customs at 330-968-4644

You guys Rock
I have to say "you guys rock" at F4 Customs. Even though none of us (other than Lamont) have an F3 Spyder yet you have replied and responded. I like your pro-active business model and have noticed on this forum how well regarded F4 Customs is. I can imagine our taller riders and those who travel longer distances and with passengers would like taller windshields. Guys like me who do shorter rides with a few distance rides thrown in probably will want a medium height we can look over. Vents or cut-outs that equalize the negative air pressure behind the windshield and reduce turbulence might be desirable, just depends. Hats-off to you at F4 Customs and I will put you at the top of my list for a quality aftermarket windshield whenever I can get a new Can Am Spyder F3.
