Windscreen extenders ?

[OJ UK]

I put the X-creen Sport on yesterday and took a quick ride.. gets the air over my helmet so I am no longer a "bobble-head" and I can still see well over it (Blue Ridge shield) ... I am 6'2" btw. The tour may give better overall wind protection, but I am gonna stick with the Sport for now. I can comfortably wear a 3/4 helmet but may move to a full face as winter (or what passes for winter in south-central TX).

I had a Blue Ridge fitted in place of the Route 129 on Tuesday and the X-creen Sport which was on the 129 was fitted to the Blue Ridge. Then I rode the 130 miles home all of it
aside from three miles on the Motorway (Our freeway!) I adjusted it a couple of times when in stationary traffic and it's now as good as it's going to get. I carried out the obligatory
(for me) baseball cap test and got up to around 85-90 mph with no problems with excessive buffeting and the ball cap stayed on. I'm only 5 feet 8 inches tall and I can see over the screen.
So it gets a thumbs up from me! :thumbup:

....so far I'm liking the x-Creen Sport quite a bit. (And the perm mounted looks VERY nice on the BlueRidge, although
their topside clamping system works great as-well). Will play with more variations of the angles this coming Sunday.

I am 5ft 10 1/2 inches with a Blue Ridge fitted to my F3 and the wind hits my helmet. I also have a Spyder RSS with a Madstad fitted. The Madstad does the job very well but it does move about slightly on it's brackets at speed, (yes the wheels are balanced as I have had them checked). Neither am I keen on it's looks, less so for the new F3 version. I have just fitted an X-creen tour to the F3 as I did not like the alternatives. It is fitted it by the clamp on method and on my first ride out at a max speed of 85 MPH no buffeting at all, screen perfectly stable, perfect solution and looks good!

Can you please send some pics of what angle your and how high you put your x-screen at, and what you think worked the best.

Fresh today!!!

I took this specially!

So now you can see the Blue Ridge screen with the X-creen Sport.

Works for me!

MRA

Loving the F3 but can't deny, moving from the RT the windscreen still puts a bit of a downer on the drive for me. When I first got the F3 I had no screen and above 55-60 the buffeting on my chest was pretty strong, had the BlueRidge fitted and body now fine, but head takes a pounding. It's sort of reducing the appeal of anything but a short Sunday cruise tbh.

I know Mastad has a solution, may have to consider as a last resort but i am not a fan of how it looks. Has anyone tried the clip on windscreen extenders like this one ( http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/MRA_X-creen_Motorcycle_Screen_Flip_Spoiler_Air_Deflector.html

Wonder if that might be a compromise route to go. I can see windscreens are a hot topic in the forum so apologies for adding another one.

Hi Al,
I had blueRidge fitted when I collected my F3.....This is my first spyder so can't compare to RT.
i did however fit the clamp on MRA sport based on comments from this forum.
There is some reduction in buffeting at cruising speeds...but over 70 mph you'll still get a pounding.

X-creen Tour

I added the X-creen Tour windscreen to my Blue Ridge windshield. It looks great and does a great job of deflecting the wind. :doorag::spyder2:
