price 180...plus the vent,well worth it and replacable everywhere...

Yea I knew Doug was working on something for the F6B, but also I know it will probably be to short for me.
I look forward to the pic

i got my windvest today!!!
ill let you know...it looks good so far
ill post pictures tomorrow
im sure you are right...you might look at the gl tall and re drill it...pretty simple process

I installed the stock gl 1800 winshield on my f6b it measured 17" from the trim to the top of the winshield, could bring it to 20" all you just have to redrill holes to put it to the height that you want, hope this helps.

I have the Bagger Shield (one piece) 19 inch Touring Shield, can also be raised another 1.25 inches. I like it and don't mind looking through it. Wind protection is great for me and the little wife. Happy wife/happy life !!

Larry,,

Perhaps OT, but post a pic of that seat. I don't know that folks here quite understand what you are working with OR, more importantly, what RDL can do to provide comfort!!!

(Is that the C-tro under the bike cover? Had R bars on my C as well!!! )

Attachment 6924Is this tall enough? I have underwent cataract operations and it works for me. It from f4 customs.

I am 6'5" and around 390,give or take how much lunch I have on a given day!I still have the stock seat but with the 19" Baggershield at the lowest setting I am looking over the top of the screen.Works well for me-I love the vent as open it helps with any back pressure created.I plan to get a seat that will put me up a inch or two so the Baggershield as stated can be raised a little to make up for that.Plus it does have some more width over the Honda screens.

Yea that is my C'tro("C" + Retro), a 2002 VTX1800 "C" with all the 2003 VTX "R" tank, dash, risers and bars installed. I built the first one and built the custom wiring harness adapter to make it all work right.

I have a few questions about windshields.
After doing a search that had not given me any satisfying answers I'm turning to my fellow F6B owners. A little background first, I'm 6'5" 35" inseam with a 66" chest and push 400lbs around all day.
I run WindVests on two of my other steel steeds in the stable and love them(Rune, VTX1800) this is my first full fairing MC that I could change the shield on.
I replaced the F6B's OEM windshield with a KW flair (13.75"measured from emblem on dash) The KW flair was JUST okay until I installed the Rocky risers(up, back & wider) and had a RDL saddle made(3" up and 4" back). Now the KW flair is way to short, so I get the Clearview Sport Touring Tall, tinted with vent, thinking that would do it.
The Clearview was a very good improvement and fine sheild, but still not quite tall enough for me(16.75" measured from emblem on dash). There was no buffeting with the Clearview, just way to much wind noise when setting straight up, but was fine if I slouched way over, but that is not the way I ride.

After talking with Clearview they told me they could make me a shield 1" taller for $40 more, but no more than the 1". I feel I need at a min 3" more on the Clearview...so it is on its way back to Clearview and getting my $ back.
I have attached a few pic of the KW and the Clearview, hole to hole so you can see how they compare to each other.

Here are my questions: Will the older 5 mount hole Goldwing OEM or aftermarket shields fit the 3 hole pattern the newer Goldwing/F6B mount with?
Who makes the tallest shield, OEM/Honda or aftermarket?
Any of you real tall guys have this type issue with their shield?

In conclusion I have come to a very somber realization NEVER BUY A WINDSHIELD UNTIL YOU HAVE THE SADLLE AND BARS SET THE WAY YOU WANT FIRST

i redrilled a goldwing tall screen,its wider like me and stops the buffeting and i look over the top of it

How about a 20" tall F4 Custom windshield. Ready to mount on the F6B with no drilling. Windshield comes with 2 extra bolts and washers to mount it in all 5 bolt holes. Perfect optical clarity, like looking through glass. Paper towel and windex cleanup. No more polishes or wax. Call F4 Customs they will treat you like a king!
