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.

Just put the F4 21inch shield on the wifes 16 F3T
Just put the F4 21inch shield on the wifes 16 F3T. The shield used the OEM screws and brackets that were on the bike for the shorty "lipped" windscreen. The shield came with 4 white plastic bushings to help mount the shield. I reused the OEM screws and the 4 black rubber washers that were original along with the wht plastic bushings. Helps to have your partner hold the screen while fumbling with the little bolts.
Have a clean floor as the washers can run away from you. Also be careful to start the bolts straight and by hand as they can cross-thread easily in the aluminum blackets.
Good Luck and Good Rydin!!

Steamer, you need to be a bit careful providing a newbie with advice like this :lecturef_smilie: Dave has stated that he has an F3-T, so there is NO adjustable mounting hardware supplied by F4. You simply remove the stock screen from the stock brackets and insert the F4 in its place.

Ooops. Point well taken.

Tall boy shield?
What didn't you like about the tall boy shield and have you sold it? I'm probably getting an F3T next week and am worried about the short stock shield. Btw, trading in my F3S which I love but like so many...getting a great deal on a 16 T.

I have a Tallboy and mounting brackets I'm not using. I'm 5'-11" and it was to short for me. If you're interested let me know. Half price.

Interested. Since I don't even have my byke yet, I'm going to see how the stock shield does, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to want something else. The short windshields present a safety issue, in my book. You're wide open to flying objects. Plus, wind buffering is not my favorite thing. A lot of people suggest the F4 shield, but they are so expensive. I'm 5'-5", so it might work for me. What's your price?

I actually just replaced my stock windscreen on my F3T with one that I purchased on ebay for $145 shipped. Not sure of the brand, but it measures 8" taller and 3" wider than the stock shield. The Stock shield worked really great, and I liked it. But I ride all year and wanted something to take the wind away for those 30-40 degree days. Total height of the new shield is 22". I like it, but will be going back to stock as soon as things warm up again around April. BTW, I am 6'-2" and look just above the top of the shield.

I just did the same thing, traded the 2015 F3S for the 2017 F3T. So far the stock windshield works great for me but I am only 5 foot 4 1/2 inches tall. Was glad I did not have to turn around and drop another 500.00 or more for another windshield on a brand new bike. Really loving the new F3T but 2 negatives that I have noticed is that it seems to produce more heat then the F3S and it is not as smooth at top end due to the smaller sprocket.

I also am looking for a taller windshield than the Tall Boy that I had put on at purchase. F4 said their shields only bolt to the STOCK shorty brackets, so I must try to get my old brackets back from the dealer. So I'm dead in the water for now. Are there any other companies that make shields that might fit?
$150 You pay the shipping.
