• 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.

Passenger and Wind

Looking to ease some of the wind turbulence on the passenger. I have seen on other threads about the F4 windshield but did not see anything if it helped the passenger. I could use any suggestions at this point and time to make an improvement on the passenger.

Thanks All

Guess I should mention 2014 RT model

We have the F4 windshield on our 2014 RTS and it made a big difference for the passenger. We have the one
that is 3'' taller and 3'' wider than the stock windshield with the vent.

I seem to vaguely recall a "spoiler", that could be added to the top trunk. This was supposed to help with the airflow around your passenger.
But...who made it? :dontknow:
If I wake up at 3:00 am for a bathroom run; that's when it'll come to me! :opps:

What I did on my 2013 RT-Ltd was install Baker Air-Wings. My wife, who is a frequent passenger, likes them a lot. She always tells me to "turn on the heater" when it's chilly which means to close the Air-Wings.

Added the same windshield and size at Spyder Palozza and the wife said it really helped. I already had the Baker Wings on the bike. She really likes riding even on really windy days :thumbup:
 
My wife has never complained about any wind back there and I thought she was touchy lol.... at any rate the bigger windshield and baker air wings should satisfy almost anyone...
 
I have the F4 windshield 3inch taller and 2.5 on each side wider..Made a big difference..Lot less wind on me and the passenger.

I also went with the vented type and if you do need a bit of wind in blows right at you:yes:
 
(Meanwhile, back at the ranch)
F4 got back with me and they have them 3" taller and 6" wider, vented or non-vented, and tinted or not. He suggested getting the vented as it would help with negative air pressure behind the shield and should almost eliminate buffeting for rider and passenger.. That makes a great deal of sense to me. I ask him how much I need to save up for.......sounds like the way to go.

Hi guys and girls....just wanted to throw my two cents in, the F4 Plus 3 is 3" taller and 5" wider (rather than 3"). We have Stock and Sport (-3") Wide also. bodymanpainter, glad it is working well for you! Thanks for the flowers, we love to get feedback from customers.
