• 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.

Loading pics is a trick:banghead:

I have the Madstad with the new brackets and it is very solid. The adjust-ability is priceless because you can tailor it to your height and wind preference. Price is reasonable. Just call and tell them your height and they will send you what you need. They make smaller versions than the 18 inch. I have a 14 inch because I am 5' 5" tall. I look over the shield, it's about chin high, and the wind is not a problem. I found the bike uncomfortable to ride at highway speeds , for any period of time, without a shield. Good luck with your choice.

Geez----I do searches for a replacement F3 windshield & all that pops up is info on other models spyders. I do a google search & several windshield links pop up. Does any F3 owner have experience or knowledge on a reasonably priced windshield for the F3 model??

From what I have read there are now five choices of windshields for the 2015 F3, if there are others please add to this list and correct any of my mistakes:

1. BRP blue ridge comes with brackets

2. California Scientific (calsci.com) comes with brackets

3. F4 customs comes with brackets

4. Gustafsson (bikescreen.com) + one needs BRP blue ridge brackets and drill holes in windshield

5. Madstad comes with brackets.

Nice to finally have some choices, those of us early on only had choice of BRP blue ridge or gauge cover shield for naked riding.

I started with BRP blueridge but now use an RT windshield with DIY brackets for cold weather and multi-day trips - Calsci Tinted Shorty other times. Both windshields work for me - Calsci tinted shorty looks better to me on F3 than RT shield. Wish my RT shield was also tinted.

I've wasted allot of money and time on windshields for my F3-S.

Best wishes in picking a windshield, it is not easy IMHO.
 
Some pix of the new Madstad mount

Here you go. I looked at some older pictures and the mount looks similar. This setup doesn't move at all, even up to 90 mph. Sorry the photos are sideways, don't know why that happened.

Based on the pics of the new windshields for the F3-T and F3-L are new owners going to be starting the search for an effective wind deflector all over again?

F3T and F3 Limited

The new F3T & F3 Limited appear to have a vented and flared at the top windshield which might be very effective in reducing negative pressure and buffeting, especially since the new dashboard & mirrors form what amounts to a fairing. A "Tall Boy" windshield is available for them as well.
 
F4 Customs adjustable Polycarbonate F3 Windshields

Several people have asked for more pictures so here you go.
Here are some pictures of the F3 windshields made by F4 Customs. High Optics Polycarbonate (no distortion), Hard Scratch Resistant Coating (Cleans with paper towel and any glasss cleaner), and Sheds Rain. www.f4customs.com 330-968-4644.
