Windshield question

[Twodog185]

I talked to Marcel...I'm 5'10", he says the F11 (27"), and $250. The BRP touring shield is nowhere to be found, and if I had that I would try the Laminar Lip first. It may not be perfect, but easily removable for city riding. The alternate is the Mels touring shield... $129.00 on EBAY.

Anybody try the Mels shield yet? I know we have believers in the F1 and F11, but they're twice the cost.

Got an opinion?

The BRP "touring" windshield does not even deserve to call itself a windshield...and it certainly does not compare to Marcels

There is a post on the MMG windshield on ebay I have ordered one The post on talk.com says he is 5,7 and he has to stand up to get the wind to hit his helmet.

:agree:

I agree too. I am only 5' tall and the trouring windshield directed the wind right into my helmet to the point I was sure the helmet was going to fly off my head. Now my other issue is that Marcel promised me a new shield by tomorrow and said he would send a label via email for me to send the old shield back. I have not heard from him since and my emails are going unanswered. I guess my trip to South Dakota will be done with just the stock shield, which I don't think will be too bad.

After 2 days with my new Marcel F1 windshield: what a difference! Riding mostly with 70 mph interstates in Fl (I275,I75 and I4). The best add on on my :spyder:.

Doc, what size (height) shield are you using? How tall are you? Thanks

Twodog,
I am one of the few who are quite happy with BRP's tour windshield, but there are so many out there that are not. I am sure you can find one for sale either on this site, or at Spydertalk.com. Then you won't have to wait for BRP to get one to your dealer. Ryde Safe and Enjoy :bigthumbsup:
