    I finished the install yesterday. Man, you guys weren't kidding about the instructions being a bunch of crap. Ya, between Youtube and common sense I was able to assemble it, install it and adjust it, but they sure don't make it easy. And how much are they saving by not providing detailed instructions with maybe a picture or two? Next to nothing. But that being said, the quality seems good I like the adjustability and I'll try it out today to see if it removes the buffeting that I was trying to reduce.

    Skromfols - Yep. There's a history on the forum with our friends at Angrystad, therefore it's not a name that's allowed. I have no position on that issue. Great forum here, and in my meager experience with the folks at Angrystad, they were also great folks.

    You are correct...you remove the screen you have on now, and install their new base shield. The brackets are mounted to that, then the outer shield onto the brackets. The brackets allow manual up/down sliding adjustment, and also some limited "tilt" adjustment so that you can find the best setting for you.

    rbbonds, thanks for the info. I just ordered their shield and hopefully it will arrive in a week or so. I like the idea of adjustability so this looks like it will work out for me. If anyone is interested I'll post the results when I get it installed.

    I'm also looking at the angrystad windshield. I currently have the slipstreamer 11" and the noise and buffeting at highway speeds is insane. It is also almost impossible to hear the radio. Just to confirm, the base shield is the same size on all options, the only other option is the height of the adjustable part of the shield? Also are there options for clear/tints for both shields? What would you recommend for 6'0"? Thanks in advance.

    yes the base shield is the same for all sizes.. I'm 6.0 I use the 13 inch top screen in clear I have it set to the lowest position... The best shield I've ever tried I can hear my music at volume setting at ten at seventy miles per hour.. and yes they have several choices on tints for shield. I hope you enjoy your shield

    Thanks for the reply, I was looking at the website, I'm going to go with the 13 also, just not sure yet if I should go with clear or one of the tints.

    I was wondering why this screen was being called the angrystad! I have a 2017 f6B and I really want a new sunscreen before riding season. I bought this bike new to me early this spring. Only had it for a month when a deer hit me on the front left side. Insurance company wanted to write it off, but there were no replacement bikes anywhere close by, so the Honda dealer told me it could take up to two months to get all the parts in!
    It's now over 6 months.... They tell me the final part will be in next week!
    Sorry for the long story! But I'm only 5'8" and I think I'm going to go with the 11" angrystad unless enough people tell me otherwise?
    I would also like to mount a radar detector on it somehow? Or somewhere in the bike. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Love mine. I'm 6'3 and got the 15" one. I also like the looks...I think it looks mean and different. I bought one for my dads Slingshot as well...can't go wrong and easy to install. While I had mine off, I went ahead and ran a power wire to the dash for a USB plug to keep my Go Pro charged and also my GPS power cord.

    I am 6'4" and the 15" works great for me.I love that I can look over the top of the screen with little to no buffeting.Plus IMHO I think it compliments the bikes look.Bottom line it is the best windscreen I have ever been behind.

    The 11" woks fine for me at almost 6' I have a brand new 15" shield if anyone has the base and wants to buy this one, make ya a deal. After trying the 15" it was too tall and I dislike looking through it. The 11" is all I will ever need.
