New F6B owner needing a windshield.. not sure what size, make and model.?

[svnten]

I just bought my F6B last week, it came with the shorty stock windshield and I want something taller. I am 5 ft 7 and my wife rides with me a lot as well, she is 5 ft 2. I am not a fan of bugs hitting my full faced helmet and also want the less buffering we both can get. I will go with a clear shield but not sure which one? I ride daily to work 90 miles r/t highway commute. Do the vents really work in the stock taller windshield or should I get something else? I don't mind looking through the windshield either for comfort. I am just not sure which route to go.

Thank you

Go Madstad first and be done with your quest, Probably an 11 inch for you and your wife.

Love me some Madstad.

Does the Madstad just mount on the current shorty windshield? Is it an easy install?

The Madstad is two pieces.
The base replaces the OEM shield. Then the adjustable brackets and upper shield bolt onto the base. And, yeah... it's a pretty easy install.

Another vote for the Madstad.

yep another vote for Madstad. 11' will work fine for your height.

I originally had the tall shield with the vent. It did not work for me or my wife. The vent didn't help IMO and bugs would cycle around in a vortex and always land on the wife or my lap..not good if she doesn't like or in my case is allergic to wasps.

The Madstad allows you to move the outter windshield about 3 inches of travel up or down and angles in or out to allow as much or no air through to the driver or passenger.
the best solution for all driving conditions

Clearview gets my vote.

I'm a MadStad follower....but I have one bit of advice:
You wrote "I don't mind looking through the windshield either for comfort."

For comfort...okay....
But for safety, my experience is a bit different:
I was riding along on a bike I was transporting for a friend.
The windshield was well above my line of sight.
No problem.
Right up until a semi-tractor rolled through a mud puddle and threw mud all over the windshield and I was effectively "blind" at 70 mph.
I stood on the pegs, got clear of traffic, got over, stopped, wiped down the windscreen, and continued.

Never again will I willingly have a windshield that I look through.
Just my experience.
Cheers,
Steve
