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.

If her helmet is too large, the negative pressure going over the top of it will pull it up on her head and move it around. Making it feel like it's being 'Ripped Off'. A properly fit helmet (which is actually quite rare) should not give the wearer this feeling even under windy conditions. It is very easy to check for a too large, loose fitting helmet.
This may not be your issue. But I thought I'd throw it into the mix.

I always s found that riding my RT with the windshield in the highest position created a lot of back pressure. Try riding with it in a lower position and see if that helps her.

My sweetheart had the same complaints. I resolved by installing a F4 - 28 inch Plus 3 wide - windshield, problem solved. (Nothing too good to keep my sweetheart happy). I was lucky to purchase when F4 (a site sponsor) had a good sale going.

This is a picture of Kim with their spider RT. She rides with the +3 I really likes it. There has been times when we ride to up and I ride on the back or she does and the difference between a stock windshield and having a blast really is just amazing. We always recommend that if you ride to up to go to the +3 it’s so much better for the co-rider great in the rain. If you’re interested give us a call at 330-968-4644 and we can discuss your options.

Based on about 50 years of trying to find "good" windshields on various bikes............
First, be sure you know where the offending air is coming FROM.
Often it is NOT over the top.
That is true of 2-wheelers; don't know about an RT......'cause I am just fine up front !! :thumbup:

My wife complained of the same thing until she traded her 3/4 helmet for a full face modular. Stock RT windshield, no vent.

I have an RT with the tall and wide F4 windshield. I don't know how much it contributes to the issue but the RT has a lot of air whirling around it at highway speed. The flags on my trunk fly backwards and my backside get dirty if the road is wet. Also on wet roads the windshield actually gets dirtier on the backside than on the front side from all the back wind blowing around. This may be part of your wife's problem with the helmet seeming to want to come off. I can't offer any passenger experience since I ride one up only. My wife can't ride.
