Intitial thoughts on my first ride.....and why I went back to the dealer!

The F4 is a great shield as is the Madstad, but if you really want to rid yourself of head buffeting you'll need to add an MRA- X Screen. They make all the difference in the world.
The idler pulley will take away most of the vibrations.

I have added the F4 windshield and put 260 miles with it on the other day and LOVE it. The "head buffeting" is completely gone and the wind is removed from 60% of the grip area. Still debating the LaminarLip extensions to remove that final 40% from my grips. Thanks.

I've used both the Laminar and the MRA- X Screen.... the MRA- X Screen is far better... and adjustable.

I believe you. It sounds right and felt right so it must be right. I'll keep it closer to 4,000 RPMs. Thanks

Yup The more I ryde the more 4000 feels good

But I do get a vibration around 5000 in all gears

Has the BRP belt tensioner solved anybody's vibration problem? Got a new f3 and have a vibration at 65 mph. Going to the dealer to get the tensioner.

The BRP belt tensioner solved about 90% of my felt vibration problems that occurred primarily between 63-67 mph on my 2015 F3-S. It frankly made my vibration issue a non-issue in terms of annoying vibrations.

Belt tension

Likewise i installed the idle belt tension on my F3 and it is a night and day difference. Not to mention the throttle response is a lot quicker due to the tighter belt. Best $35 investment ive made into my bike.

If you have the Blue Ridge, get the X-Creen tour. It makes the windshield acceptable, at least to me. If you don't have a windshield, yet, don't get the Blue Ridge. As others have said, the idler pulley removes the vibration and you can easily install the pulley yourself. The 2-up shock is also the way to go. The idler pulley and 2-up shock together improve the ride immensely.

it's just a different kind of lean, but just as much fun. Just a different kind of fun. You'll see
