    Today I installed a Honda vented 16.5" tall clear windshield for the F6B.

    Also a thankyou to Cruiserman for his youtube video on how-to install the windshield, made it a cakewalk in 15 minutes. I will be purchasing some of your videos as to oil-change and maybe tire-change. Thank you....

    So, I called the local Honda shop and it happened that they had a tall F6B shield in stock, new in box of course. I got it for $190 out the door.

    Pulled the fairing Tupperware this morning at the house, removed the stock windshield, rode it to the Honda shop, bought the new shield and installed it in the lot. Had some onlookers, they seen how easy it was, but they seemed a little intrigued. Saved a ton of install money

    The ride to the shop without a shield was pretty fun, it was cool out 50 degrees and sunny, couldn't ask for better. The ride home was just fantastic, heard the music from my MP3 player even at 65mph with all sound. At 5'11" I can see perfectly over the 16.5" (from rubber up) with comfort and I can tuck a little and lose all wind and noise totally.

    Thanks again.............. Ed
    Like they say, no pics, didn't happen. At 5"9 I could probably get by w/a little shorter shield.

    That's a 10mm and you pull this point of plastic out and over the threaded nipple to remove fairing.
