Windshield

Extra hardware?
Yes you need a lot to support a barndoor IMHO. Just sayin

Hey, I was just making a guess, OK!!!

There must be a reason why the F4 windshield for the F3 is $150 more than the comparable one for the RT. They make a great, high quality shield, but for some reason it's more expensive for the F3. If you really want to know the reason, why don't you ask Don at F4 Customs?

I would suspect that the hardware kit has a lot to do with the cost, which is not required on any of the other F4 windshields.I find it interesting that most of us want made in the USA but then question the cost and look elsewhere for a cheaper price.It costs more to manufacture in the USA and depending on the part of the country that the part is manufactured will effect cost. I live in Tennessee where labor and manufacturing costs are low compared to other parts of the country like, California, Maine, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. I mention these states for the fact I have gotten quotes and all have come back at a minimum of 60% higher. It is tuff being a manufacturing and distriburator of your own product(s) when dealers who want to sell your product want 30 - 40%. For the most part the small businessman makes very little after expense and dealer discounts.

Your right Pam and fencepost the F3 requires mounting hardware and the RT does not require this.

Yeah, I do notice that that F3 windshields are very pricey compared to the RT windshields at F4 Customs. I don't know why that is. Possibly because of the extra hardware needed?:dontknow:

I have a windshield on order from F4, same height as original 2 1/2 inches wider per side and tinted. Will let you know how it is when I install on bike. :spyder:
