• 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

just my 2 cents on the madstad windshield system. i had a victory cross country and tried different windshields on it including the "flip" windshield. none fixed buffeting at speed. i also didnt like the "flip" at the top. i did not like the distortion it created as far as the wavy line across the top of the windshield. i tried the madstad windshield system after the experience with all the other windshields. as far as my cross country, it was the fairing model. the bracket system mounts the windshield off the fairing a small amount. i also liked the adjustability of the angle and height. as others have said, everyones needs are different. short, tall , some like a little wind, some not, the madstad system allows for all of the variables. and it did fix the buffeting problem. the airstream i adjusted for was for a smooth airstream just a small one for helmet venting. i was very satisfied.
 
I tried the Madstad on my "17 Base model F3. It had a light tint - wider and taller than standard.
I found that at highway speeds it was not as stable as I thought it should be. Also it allowed a lot of wind to hit me
around my knees and lap .
I have tried a modified RT windshield and also one from a Goldwing.
None of them seem as good as the F4 that I bought from this site used. Don and his crew were very nice dealing with me while purchasing the hardware also.
Don't have an awful lot of miles on the F4 but it has proven to be well worth the sost.
My 2 cents worth !
