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.

Was that the Cal-Sci windshield?
I got one and liked it, but ruined it when re-installing it. When I replace it, I would however, look at other options as it wasn't doing what I wanted which was keeping the wind off me when I had my modular helmet face shield up for fresh air (and heat relief in Texas) and at about 45 MPH, the windshield generated down force that closed my helmet. Perhaps I need a taller one than I bought.
Now, I don't have a lot of experience with windshields (my last two bikes were dual sport with no windshields), but I'm older now and ideally, would like to have the perfect world of no wind buffeting on me at highway speeds, but enough air circulation to keep me cool in the Texas summer heat.
Am I asking too much? :dontknow:

Wow. How tall are you?
I'm 5'8" and the XL Calsci works really well for me. Sorry it didn't for you.
Uncut toenail - roflmao
So what is the F1 then - a bent toenail with fungus? :joke:

This is kind of funny for a "Uncut toenail" .
tatt2r:
there is a option for all who don't like "tall" windshields.
The Evolution III SC (slide screen) is only 21" tall in total size.
You can adjust the schield in any size you like up to a total size of
30.5". I am sure that this one will work for you.
If you are done with touring or high speed driving, you can slide it
back and your bike looks like s sport bike again.

I know what your saying. I bought the BRP "sport touring" shield and after putting it on, it was ugly. Went back to the stock shorty - looks better! I wear a 3/4 helmet so the wind isn't so bad anyway!

I have both of the BRP factory shields...Stock and tourning, and they are available for sale..
Make an offer plus shipping....

CalSci XL - Not XL Enough
I just got the Calsci XL - At 6'3" , it's still too short .... actually 2-3" too short - If you're 6'2" or taller and want don't want major wind head blast at 65+ mph , IMO you may want to look elsewhere. Other than not being tall enough - it fit well and looked OK. I'm going to talk to CalSci to see if they have a slightly taller one.

wow you look really short in your picture
I put the CalSic windshield on right after buying my Spyder and riding it home with the BRP windshield.
I am 5' 10" and got the large.
I find it works well with adequate protection, you still get a little wind which is deflected by my helmet shield and comes in hand when it is hot.
Of all the aftermarket shields out there I like its looks the best.
My 2¢.
