• 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.

well, did about 150 miles of a mixture of highway and back roads. this spyder is absolutely fantastic. very windy here today 15-20 mph n-nw winds, that spyder stays planted. crosswinds much easier on this than my victory vision. now, the windshield, i have the blue ridge on her and although it does a good job it definitley needs more coverage. I'm not getting head bobbled just wind blast towards the top of the helmet. i think just even 3 inches higher will make a huge difference. i think I'm going to try to modify like the other gentlemen did with the gauge spoiler. otherwise, my spyder is fantastic. love the f3..;)

This should be moved to forum:
Spyder F3- Hotrod/Cruiser


Congrats on F3-S:clap:

I plan to also try tilting BR windshield and if that doesn't work then I'll try attaching a windscreen(shield) spoiler to top of it.

Test it...

pickup a piece of plexiglass at home depot and clamp it to the top of your shield to see how it does. Adjust it to find theright spot. You can the make what you need or get the flip extensions...:thumbup:

Looks great - what is a "flip extension" and where does one get it?
 
The movable section at the top flips up and will flip down flat on the shield. Got this set up from Twisted Throttle. Brand is MSR but there are others...

Mr. Chupaca, sir.....I believe that the brand is MRA. I had one on my RS-S! ( and my BMW R1150R, my Yamaha MT-01 too.)

Take a look at this clip:


BUT..... Do they work?? I don't think that I would have had three of the MRA screens if they didn't, although they look cool!

Here's some proof:
