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.

Lamont,
I saw a demo of a windshield from F4customs, it has a coating on it that will not scratch, even rubbing steel wool on it does not scratch it.
They do not currently make Spyder shields, but maybe some pressure from owner groups might encourage them to think more about it. I emailed them and they answered pretty quick, even though the answer was not yet for Spyder windshields.
Just a thought,
Wes

I'm guessing that's the one for the stock handlebars/riser ... clearance for the bars. I'm also guessing that the ones for pullback risers don't have those cut-outs.

That looks kind of interesting. I've bought two Cal-Sci windshields and am pleased with them, but then again, these are the first two real windshields I've ever bought for a bike before so what do I know?
Today was a bit windy and the X-LG Cal-Sci was doing a pretty good job going into the wind but side winds would make some noise and move my helmet around a bit.
I wonder if there is a perfect windshield out there? I guess I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

Take it for a test ride in some wind and let us know.
Unfortunately it's not that simple. Beyond the basic quality of build that is. What works for me may be horrible for you. Lots of factors involved- arm length, body length, how aggressively you sit on the bike, height/width of the shield etc.
Strangely, on my Strom the least expensive aftermarket shield (Givi) worked as well as any other, once I put the adjustable bracket on it.
Rifle Windshield after some good miles.
" So glad I got it."Got this from Spyder114. He really likes it.
I've put some miles on the new windshield. No wind on helmet and no cross wind. The key I believe is that the windshield is up off the faring about an inch. So the wind seams the flow better over the windshield. I've had three windshields and this is far and away the BEST:yes::yes::yes: If you could test one you'd be sold. Also I'm sure they would allow it to be returned if you did not like. But I'm sure you would. The staff members there are great and have been making windshields for a long time. Rifle Faring makes very good products. Spyder114
I just ordered one of these, a custom size 21" over ignition. I've got my SE5 set up as a cruiser with floorboards and Corbin seat (so I'm sitting up pretty straight), and the Calsci 14" windshield is way too small. I won't get it for a couple weeks, but I hope it does the trick.
