Which F3 Limited Windshield?

[JS3535]

So if I can sell my F3S, I’m going to get a F3 Limited. I know all the add-ons I want except for the windshield. I literally tried every one on my F3S and ended up running the route 129. I could not find one tall enough that didn’t cause buffeting. I think the design of the F3T or L would be better for preventing this but want to get some opinions. I was thinking either the tall boy or a F4 with vents. I wouldn’t mind looking through it as long as I can get that calm breezy & no wind noise feeling that some people claim to get. I’m 5’10” and will have short reach bars & #4 position pegs. Thanks.

Go for a 23" f4 with the vent. Also, get the air wings.:thumbup:

I agree. I'm very happy with my F4 shield with the vent.

I lovemy F4 23” vented but I liked the Tall Boy until I got a custom seat that raises you up 2” and it no longer gave me the wind protection I wanted for 500+ mile days. If I stayed local or did shorter rides the Tall Boy would have been sufficient, the stock windshield was a joke, carnival freak show joke.

If you want a Tall Boy I’ll make you a good deal on one.

I might be interested in knowing what you would ask for the tall boy if the previous poster isn't interested. BTW, this is Keith, I think I got the luggage rack from you.

+1 for the F4 23" vented with airwings. That's what I have and love it.

Still need to sell my F3S & get a Limited, but it sounds like the F4 is the way to go. Are you going to have your Limited with you next month in Tracy?

How bout your tall boy. I think shipping to East Tennessee 37601 expensive. If not sold how much. Tinted? Vent? I have a 2017 F3-SE6 Limited. Moved from a Goldwing and too much wind with the mickey mouse stock windshield. Maybe back to the wing...have not registered the bike yet.

Test drove a F3 Limited today with the tall boy. Oh boy, what a difference compared to mine. I really need to get mine sold to upgrade. How much taller is the 23” F4 compared to the tall boy? Are the vents totally close-able?

The F4 23" is 23" from the top to the bottom. The vents are adjustable and you can close them all the way or adjust in 5 different positions.
The F4 Customs windshield is wider than the tall boy and the wind protection is much better since it will move the air out and around you due to the width.

I'm 5'-11" with 32 inch inseam. For me the tallboy was horrible. I had to use an Xscreen with it.
I now have the F4 21" vented. Look completely over the windshield and the wind hits me at the top of my head.

 

[JS3535]

That’s weird. I’m 5’10” and it was the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had with wind noise on a F3. I would assume the F4 with vents would be even better.

 

[F4 Customs]

The F4 windshield greatly reduces head buffeting and move the air oit and around the rider and co rider

F4 makes a 21", 23"' and 25"

Does anyone know the height (from the gas tank up) & the length of the tall boy? Also, does the tall boy have 2 eyebrow cut holes in it or is it solid? I have seen both claiming to be tall boys.

Here at f4 Custom’s when we did our testing we found that the tallboy was to narrow and because you set so far back away from the windshield the wind hits the windshield and goes around it it comes back and hits the rider and the co-rider therefore not providing the wind protection that you expect. At f4 Custom’s we make the windshield wider so the air is directed around the rider and co rider. We also have the air wings if you want more protection for your hands and shoulders as a add on which really direct the air out and around. We would love to discuss this with you so please feel free to call us at 330-968-4644

I had one of these on a previous bike and when I bought the F3L I figured I would try it on before spending money on a new windscreen. I really like it. I'm 5'10'' as well. I usually go speed limit 65 mph / 100 kph. I have an Arai X Corsair and it works really well. I had the V version of the corsair I it had more buffeting. I think you will find that the helmet design and shape can and do make a difference.
