• 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.

I could use some advice

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.
 
Cal-Sci and F4 make some pretty decent windshields for the RTs... :thumbup:
There are others; those two just popped into my feeble mind the quickest! :D
 
This may sound stupid but.......................

make sure you have the windshield up as far as it goes. Since I had an RS previously, this is somewhat new to me to be able to raise, lower and adjust the windshield. Just sayin................
 
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:
 
If you have the Stock 2012 windshield UP it should protect you quite well Unless you have like 70 Pounds pressure in the rear seat airbag which would raise the rear end up "A Lot?"
I,m 6' 210 and never put more than 15 pounds in the airbag for single No Cargo riding.

I have the Calsci which is much wider and probably provides the protection you need!!!
 
Bob..........

thanks for the "heads up". Knew about the issue of cracks occurring on some RT's but didn't know a potential solution was to keep it off the bottom.

Many thanks, see you next week at SF!!!!!

Thanks for the advice I was thinking CalSci or F4 windshield I just do not know what one is better. Do you know if you get a lot of wind from the vent and can you open or close the vent ?
 
When I finally was able to buy my spyder I read lot of posts here and I realize I wanted every add on there was I wanted windshield swaybar seat lights muffler well like I said I want it all but unfortunately I will have to save to buy 1 thing at a time over time. The good news is you really appreciate every upgrade more.
