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.

Madstad
I've had mine a little over a month and put ~2k miles on it...all road conditions...highway, twisties, etc. love it...once you get it adjusted correctly it does everything I expected from a good windshield. Precious bike was an Indian Roadmaster with electric windshield adjustment so my bar was set pretty high.

Yeah, once you have had an electric windshield (despite saying "I don't need that!" ) it's hard to go back

adjustable
Yes the electric screen is good, but does it give you the adjustibility that a MadStad system would??

Has anyone used both this windshield and the F4 Customs? I was wondering about the pros and cons of both or which one was preferred. I like that this one is adjustable. I like the durability of the F4 Customs. I am going to get a different windshield so I am interested in others thoughts or opinions. I know everyone has their own preference but it's good to hear what others think. Thanks, Cindy

Probably
An excellent question, Mad. On the Vision, the electric screen moved up and back (or down and forward, depending on where it started
) around 4". It let you find the perfect pocket once you selected the right base height screen for your size, so I would say that yes, it does give you the adjustability of a Madstad :thumbup:. If you had your screen high, you could lower it on the fly when entering a town for more airflow, and vice versa for high speed and rain. I can't speak for the RT as I don't have one, but I imagine it would be exactly the same.
It's the ability to adjust on the fly that makes the electric screen such a valuable addition. There isn't an electric screen on the F3, so the Madstad is the next best thing

I don't have a mad, but I just bought and 25in F4. It is NICE. They also have 15% off and free shipping. It is large. I probably should have went with the 23in, but I'm happy with the quality of the F4.

Thanks for your order
Thanks so much for your order. Most folks like that they can use the factory hardware and cleaning the shield with any glass cleaner and paper towels and it will stay like new.
Ride Safe and thanks again for your order!

You can get a wider Madstad
We ordered a wider/higher Madstad for our F3. It's 1" wider each side and at the top.
I haven't sat behind Mrs G yet (the main reason I wanted a larger screen) but she reckons it is smoother than the older one. Just waiting to refit the original spring back on our Elka so I can sit on the back and receive lots of thumbs-up from women car drivers. ;-)
