I could use some advice

CALSCI WINDSCREEN

I am the proud owner of a 2012 rts se5. Before I had a 1984 Honda Goldwing so you can imagine the change for me. I did notice that I have more wind now than I did with the Goldwing. My first purchase will be a windshield the second will be a bajaron sway bar. I am 6 feet tall and looking for a shield that blocks as much wind as possible any advice on the size and brand of shield would be appreciated.[/QUOT

I, too, am 6 feet tall, and got off an1984 Goldwing, and love my 2011 RTS SE-5. Changed out the stock windscreen for the CALSCI two years ago, and notice a terrific difference in the effects of SIDE WINDS. Don't get blown around as much, now, and NO you can't feel the rush of air through the vent in the CALSCI. That blast of air goes up, over your head. Much better than the stock item.
Ride safe,

did you buy the xl size windshield?

Jim,
When you lower it; keep it JUST off the point where it bottoms out.
Popular opinions point to this as a potential source for the cracking of the center strut... :shocked:

I discovered the ware marks on mine and posted about it some time back. ( NOTE: At the time I thought the bottom "strike" was metal but found it to be a hard plastic). When I lower mine I always touch it back up just a tad go get it off of the post.

The 2010 shields were much larger than the '12's , taller and wider . I have a short "wheelbase" and actually cut about 4 inches off of mine to get it down where I could see over it in the lowest position. Someone on the forum may have one to sell, .

I have the XL on my 2012 RT and its great. In the summer Heat I put back the stock one which I cut 2 inches .

You need to check your air bag pressure and make sure its got some first and that its Not Too High. This is All explained in your user manual and there is also a chart Right under the seat to go by.

windshield

Got a CalSci xl for my 2012 RTS -- vent is just an opening -- no why to close -- but thats not needed as this removes the low pressure area behind the windshield -- and for some reason -- rain doesnt go thru it!! I'm 6'4" -- with the windshield all the way up I look thru about 2" from the top -- I usually ride with windshield just off lowest point -- has a lot of wind coverage
