Got caught in heavy rain with my CHAD

[Lamonster]

I had to mail something to Magic Man today so he would quit crying and on the way home the sky's opened up on me. :shocked: Much to my surprise I didn't get that wet. all I had on was a Hoodie and some jeans and the only thing that got wet was my forearms and from my knees down. That's the driest I've been in a down poor like that. I think I'm going to like this shield a lot when I start into the bad weather riding again. :doorag:

I do like the look of your shield:2thumbs: I am 6'3 so I am having a hard time finding a shield to accomodate my height. i don't care for the bars on the slider shields that are by Marcel. Hmmm what will I end up doing?

I agree on CHAD. Last week, on the way back from Arkansas, we had heavy rain and sleet (along with a few lightning strikes) for about half way... 150 miles). I was just tooling along enjoying myself when everyone else (on two-wheelers) was somewhat tense and wet. hyea:

So you're saying that the CHAD also protects from lightning strikes

What a windshield!

I drove over 5,000 miles on my last road trip before I got wet. hyea:

This is the first ride I've ever kept a windshield on and I've been cross country on my last 4 rides. If it works right it's kind of nice. :doorag:

You can get one mostly like mine here.

I cut the corners on mine and painted the inside of the shield. They do sell a shield that's already blacked out but not one with the corners rounded.

I figured you'd like the CHAD. I've been impressed with W's. I do like the black-out effect.

Took the spyder to work today and really love the CHAD. Now that we have it positioned right, I get very little wind and I can ride without face shield and worries about my sunglasses flying off. It makes for a much more enjoyable ride.

Now that looks sharp.
Did you paint the bottom section?

 

[Roaddog2]

That's impressive:clap: You have a few years on me.....

Ya and you have a few more beers than everybody on this forum combined :joke:

We told you you would like the CHAD! :thumbup:

There's some OTHER kind of weather for riding?? :dontknow: Never for me, it seems...

Is there anyone who has the chad who is 6' or taller? I have the large F1 slider and I am 6 feet tall, and I'm getting bad head buffeting and noise at speeds over 65 mph. I've tried several different helmets, so I know that's not the problem.
