Wind? What wind?

We've got to keep track of who's on an RT, and who's on a GS/RS... pps:

Spyderrx....anymore thoughts on it besides your fume problem? Do you like your old windshield better?

I do like my old shield better, especially for the winter, because it does block more wind. When compare side by side the BRP shield is wider overall. It also has the bottom part that extends out toward the mirrors that block the wind from your hands. I'm still going to do a little more testing and change those gaskets before making a final decision. The gaskets could be my whole problem to begin with. One thing I wanted to test that I didn't have the opportunity to, was how the wind hits you on the interstate if your behind or passed by a big rig. Get some buffeting with my old shield. Interested to see how the cal-sci performs in that aspect. Will do some more testing this weekend.

"Over-hyped"?

Hmmm.....this goes against the hype this thread created.

Rar has an RT and it's great. I ordered her a medium and could live with that myself. When I order mine for my RT which will arrive on Tuesday.:yes::yes:hyea:hyea: I will order a large. I'm 6' and although the medium would be great if I became a snow bird I think I will opt for a little more protection in the north.

I think most of the hype is from the RT owners apparently the new Cal Sci for the RT's is wider and shorter giving them a more comfortable ride. As for us RS owners it's still trial and error. I'm waiting on the 23" BRP ultra touring shield to arrive any day now. I tried the Madstad robobrackets but couldn't get that perfect fit and didn't care for the look. Let me know your thoughts on the Cal Sci and i'll post mine on the BRP touring.
