• 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.

Windshield for Ryker - what are you guys running?

CalSci medium height. I'm 6'0" and found their measurement guide to be dead on.
Not too fancy, not adjustable, but the few times I've been able to ride it so far it has eliminated air pressure on my torso, and I can tuck my head down a bit if I find my helmet being jostled and its perfect.
My only complaint was missing hardware, but they sent it out pretty quickly without issue.
 
I finally installed the F4 windshield and it's a huge difference on the highway. I'm talking like complete night-and-day where I get minimal headbuffering and I don't even need to put my face shield down at 80 mph. I can probably start driving without the face shield.

The only negative I can think of is that the windshield is very reflective and all I see is the reflection of my white motorycle pants with green reflectors right in my face all the time.

Is the F4 able to be adjusted any? Tweaking the angle would help take away those reflections.
 
I've got the sport on it but my Adventure was delivered yesterday. Will change it this weekend. I'm 6'4" and the sport was about 3" too low.
 
Very curious to hear your experience with the Adventure shield.

Am still not sure of what screen to go for: doubt between Madstadt, F4 or the De lux fairing. So if anyone has advice... very welcome :thumbup: and much appreciated.

All depends on if you mind looking through the windshield or having the top edge below your line of sight.

I'm more comfortable having it below my line of sight so i opted for something that deflects the wind up and around me only. It doesn't create a pocket of negative air pressure like larger ones do.
 
Markubis - I think that I would opt for a screen that is just below my line of sight but do not like buffeting.

I do not have any windscreen experience (or motorbike experience for that matter) so am hoping you (and others) can help me make a decision.
 
The F4 is optically clear, no distortion looking thru, I've not experienced any reflection on my black Ryker.
 
I've never ridden it in the rain....But past experience of riding from West to East coast where it rained all the way cross America with a fairing. It's no worse than your face shield.
 
I haven't driven in the rain yet with the F4 so I can't comment. I will say that it's a vast improvement over the oem sport windshield I was using before on the highway because no wind buffering on the helmet at high way speeds makes long distance commutes less exhausting.

Also, the F4 windshield is optically clear, but the bug splatters all over it say otherwise. LOL
 
Ziggy - What do you like better the fairing or the F4 and why?
lokiryker - That is good to know though if I would go with an OEM shield it would be the adventure one. But from what I read here &reviews read about quality I want to skip the OEM one and getter a better quality one straight off (windshield or delux faiting) though am leaning towards the windshield at the moment.
