Clearviewshields.com also has a windshield for the F6B with the recurve at the top. Website says they offer in three sizes. Not sure if they are really in production yet.

Tbone, that is a good question...."if they are in production yet"...because I ordered 2 new windshields from Clearview 20 days ago, had my card charged by them 15 days ago, and was told that they were to be shipped out late last week. But as of now, I cannot get Craig to answer my calls or respond to my e-mails, so I don't know for a fact that they have been made, let alone been shipped. I have had Clearview windshields before, and love the recurve at the top, so thought I would give them another try.

120ci, Take a look at the Madstad. It looks good (technical and aggressive) although some do not care for the styling. It sits low so you can look well over it, yet it's the best I've ever had for protection and quiet. Getting quite popular with the F6B. I first got the 13 incher (I'm 5'10") but switched to the 11 incher. My profile picture here shows the 11 inch. Check out the very large Forum thread "Madstad for F6B" and see the pics scattered throughout the thread. Also, check out www.madstad.com. The site has a few pics including d-shark from this Forum and myself (with the original 13 inch shield, it's the pic in the park setting). There is quite a selection of aftermarket shields available now. You're sure to find one that will work out well for you.

I like to wear a 3/4 lid and look over the windshield by as much as possible. Madstad is the winner. I look over it by at least 4". And its way adjustable.

I have the Windbender HP Electric 11" dark smoke. You can adjust the height to a max of 15" with a switch while running down the highway.

Would you be wanting to part with any of them? Bike Week is so close and I realize I can get one at one of the display tents, but I would rather help out a member, if so.

I do thank all of you who posted and showed pics and suggestions. Thank you all.

One final question: will the stock standard Goldwing windshield bolt up to the F6B ?
I call a Honda shop and they said it probably wouldn't.

Yep. You might need some fender washers due to the slots being wider.

Only (3) locations on the F6B for attachment w/o purchasing extra hardware. Unclear, but I believe late model Wings may only use 3 anyway, and earlier wings use 5.

VERY NICE looking set-up, KJ!

This is the best looking non-shorty windsheild I have seen. I like the way it retains the factory rake and the power feature is fantastic! I like the farkle shelf option too. If I ever decide to go with something besides the stock size screen this would be it. Unfortunately the $800 price is enough for me to really evaluate if I need it or not.
