Ordered my F1 Queen today!

[0228lisa]

Just ordered my F1 Queen today. It has a slider. Marcel said it had a 40% reduction of wind and noise compared to the original F1. It should be here in a week. Getting the Spyder ready for Dragon's Tail in North Carolina! Upgraded wheels mounted this Saturday. :clap::clap::2excited:

:2thumbs: did you take a look at new fairing?

Did you get the sale price? Is the hardware black or standard aluminum color?

The screws are in black. Yes, I got the sale price. I like the new fairing...the Mantis. Pretty cool looking but want to keep the "sport" look on my bike as much as I can.:doorag:

Think he meant the slider mechanism itself, on the inside of the bottom shield, where the top shield is mounted. What finish is that?

black. You can sort of see it in the link I sent.

Is the top 'sliding part' tinted or clear?

If you have to look through the top part, then I believe by law they have to be clear for safety reasons (riding at night for example). Suppose you could always lower it at night.

The sliding part is available in clear, light smoke, and dark smoke. On the recommendation of Docduro I went with both panels dark smoke. I'm hoping it doesn't reduce visibility when the slider is not out because then you have dark smoke on dark smoke. We shall see....I'll let you guys know how I like it.:2thumbs::2thumbs:

Any front tinted windshield that is in your line of sight can get you a ticket. According to DOT if you look through it - it's supposed to be transparant. Doubt its enforced much on bikes - but if it was a car you'd get nailed pretty quick. My concern would be riding at night when you want the screen far up to keep the bugs off. If you're taller than the shield - no problem.

When the slider is down, you should be able to see over both portions of the windshield. Visibility in that case should not be an issue. If you can't see over the lowered slider, Marcel sold you too big of a windshield.
