Why is mastad ur favorite ? What's so special about it and how well does it protect in colder months. I'm looking for something that will completely block all the wind from the front. Also doing research on getting all the baker wings they offer for f6b. Need to block everything is my goal.

Are baker wings any good or are there any other options from other vendors ?

....if our Sport (14") is too tall. We have a customer who is 5'6" tall and he can ride with his ball cap on with the 14" shield. Available tinted and clear, with or without a vent. Give us a call with any questions.

Does the center stand still get the rear wheel off the ground enough to rotate the rear tire to air it up??...Thanks

Madstad and Windbender both work on 'similar' designs,,, Less turbulence / less wind noise with a shorter shield is what most experience.

Eliminating the wind may require looking through a shield,,, a W I D E shield at that, and even then, you may have turbulence due to the creation of a low pressure zone,,, (the same low pressure zone that Madstad and Windbender reduce by design)

I apologize as you may have indicated before,,, What bikes have you ridden before/left you wanting for more wind protection?

Have you ridden a full Goldwing or another bike with a full fairing? (IMHO, a 'Batwing' type fairing by itself isn't really a 100% 'full' fairing)

Does a windshield with a vent solve the issue of low pressure zone ? I like the madstad but not the looks. May b I can one that is 11" with a vent. I need something before 8/28/14 the day I leave for dragon.

It ain't sexy, but it works if you are looking for quiet and minimal/no turbulence. May b I can one that is 11" with a vent. I need something before 8/28/14 the day I leave for dragon.

As I posted in your other shield thread, nothing wrong with the 11-19 B-shield. 11 might give ya some breeze when it's hot and the 19 would most likely be a 'look through' for folks who are a bit shorter. :shrug:

No it does not.....to do that, simply put a square of 3/4" plywood (or something similiar) down where the center stand comes down. Then, the back tire will raise off the ground.

I have an F4 Customs shield and they are extremely high quality. If you dont mind looking through the shield a 14" with a vent would probably resolve the air from the front issue. Windshields are very subjective in looks and preference. F4 Customs has been a supporter of the forum and are great to work with as well. Baker air wings are a great addition to get the turbulence down if needed.
