Windshield purchase

[teacherbob]

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new taller windshield. I know many of you have the windshield from Marcel. Anyone orderd the new generation III windshield ? Wonderig if anyone has installed the taller windshield from Mels Monster gararge? He has them on EBAY for $149.

Hi, Bob

I got the F1 from Marcel back in the spring and had the nice ryde to Canada to try it--wind & rain enough of the time for a good test. It certainly kept the elements off me and my passenger as well better than the stock.

I suppose it cut back on my mileage a bit, but I was getting 32 mpg and we were driving fast alot.

I thought that I'd be swapping it back and forth with the stock shield, but I haven't taken it off yet:

Older pic below, but a different view. This is the "dark smoke" shield:

I have the one from Mels, it works great !
I am 5'9
Still some residual wind on the helmet, but a bit better than touring.
