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.

I am 5'8" and I bought a Blue Ridge windshield. BIG MISTAKE!! Lots of helmet buffering!!
Whatever type of windshield you get, if possible test one before buying or make sure the company has a return policy.

Madstad
My vote is for Madstad, Dark Gray, it looks sweet and works great! I really like the adjust ability of this windshield, it lets you dial it in without having to modify anything like I have had to do on bikes in the past. I went with the size that Madstad's measuring method suggested but ended up going taller (from 16" to 18"). I couldn't be happier:clap:

I like my Madstad windshield. They will let you return for a different size which is what I did. I needed to go wider so I sent mine back. However, if you go wider you can't return. I got the bronze and it is awesome! Good luck.

Not at all and I actually mounted a fork/windshield bag to mine to hold my glasses/sun glasses, wallet, cellphone.... it worked out great.
hyea:I have a 2016 F3 Ltd, with what I think is the Blue Ridge windshield (strange forward curve near the top), and love it. I am about 5' 8", and discovered with previous owned RTs, that I prefer looking over the shield, not through it. I found myself riding with an F4 windshield as low as it would go virtually all the time. BUT that also greatly increased wind noise and buffiting.
I believe that the helmet is the key. The more a helmet reduces air noise the less buffeting you will experience. That has certainly worked for me. Shuberth, Shoei, and probably others have helmets that do a great job at reducing air noise and thus buffeting. I wear a Shoei GT Air, and can turn down my music, enjoy a quieter ride, without any buffeting whatsoever.
Good luck

Does it have the vent? Do you have photos? I am interested. Please let me know. I live in Salt Lake.
Thanks.

I just had the dealer put the Blue Ridge windshield on my 2015 R3. I see someone complained of "buffeting." That doesn't bother me and i expect wind to hit my helmet. The windshield is not tall and I like being able to look over it. The curve at the top is designed for air flow. The windshield does what I want it to do.....keeps wind from hitting me directly the chest. I'm 5'11". I'm not an expert, but I have been riding various motorcycles since 1978.

The F3 LTD is not the Same as the F3-S. I went with the Blueridge for my F3-S and put a x-creen extension on it that is adjustable. Some of the after market windshields are nice but to big for me and usually the brackets are butt ugly. You will have to look at all to figure out what you like best.

Which BR windshield did you buy? How tall are you? How far above the instrument cluster does the windshield extend to?
