• 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 Windshield

I really like the F3 and can't wait to test one out, but I also really like to have some wind protection on long rides. think there is any possibility of an aftermarket shield? or is this bike to cool :doorag:

What do you all think??

I don't think it will take long for the aftermarket to sense opportunities for the F3, but this time out I think BRP is providing a much broader range of options than they have for past units
 
I am looking at buying a 2014 RT in the next week or so. I really like the shorter windscreen that is on some of the 2015 models. I assume they make a shorter windscreen allready for the RT's, but I haven't seen one.
 
Route 66 and Blue Ridge

The Route 66 windshield looks the tallest and has a flared "flip" at the top edge to deflect air upwards. The Blue Ridge doesn't look to be as tall nor does it have the flared edge. Both are just under $400 each.
 
I kinda liked the look of the Blue Ridge shield. Looks like it would be fun to take the F3 "cruiser" and turn it into a light tourer.
 
Touring Package

I saw on the BRP website that a touring package which has that Blue Ridge windshield will be available. Normally a factory package will be considerably cheaper than buying the individual components. I haven't yet seen the cost for this package deal yet but would expect it to be at least several hundred dollars less than buying those items and installing them.

I'm using the 23" vented BRP replacement on my 2014 RT and am quite happy with it. Down, it gives good air and up it gives decent protection.
 
Pardon me sir

The original post was in regards to an F3 windshield and not an RT windshield. No harm-no foul, but you're not quoting the OP in this thread.
 
the Route 66 looks like the one that came on the ST...with distortion near where it dips in at top.....but hardware looks like maybe we can put Cal-Sci on...wait and see

At least BRP offers 4 options
 
Installing the rt66 windshield on a new F3

Has anyone installed one yet,and if so is to hard to do ?
the dealer wants 50.00 to put it in.
 
BLUE RIDGE

I ORDERED MINE WITH THE 'BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY' WINDSHIELD......

Blue Ridge

I'll probably go with the Blue Ridge as it's the tallest one available from BRP. So far most who have it seem to like it. If it doesn't pan out for me I can always go to an aftermarket windshield next year when more choices will be available.
 
Did a 300+ mile back from Springfield to Memphis on the Blue Ridge windshield and compared with the Demo Ride without a windshield, this is the best windshield for me. Rode thru most normal environs (2 lane, 4 lane, passing semis, windy areas, full helmet and 3/4 helmet) and it does a great job!

(Note, I am 5'7" and the windshield covers me up to the bottom neck area)
