• 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.

Need Windshield advice: Form, Function, & Height?

Going to buy a MadStad windshield for my F3S, but not sure how high I need to go. I'm definitely getting either the 16" or the 18" because I'm not to keen on the looks of a tall windshield. Anyone run the 16" and is it pretty much useless? I'm 5'-10" and don't mind some mild wind to the head, more looking to take most of the pressure off the chest at high speeds. Pics welcomed.

I have an RT, and it's adjustable. It's OEM, and at the lowest setting I can just see over the top .... I don't feel any wind on my face .... Mike :thumbup:
 
I am also 5’10” and went with the 18” windscreen on my 2022 F3S.

I’m able to adjust it for my liking of less/more wind and am very pleased with it.

The one i ordered from madstad’s website came with two deflectors that sit next to gauge cluster. These are not adjustable.

The image below is with the shield at max height, and tilted back most of the way.

Thanks for the picture and comment. I think I'll get the 18". If the height bothers me, I can just cut it down (won't be the first time I've done that to a windshield).
