Well after 3 Windshields I finally got frustrated and ordered the Ergomot electric Windscreen. Installation wasn't easy but not incredibly difficult, you definitely need to be handy with a wrench. You also need to set a few hours aside as it takes some time. I had help and a second set of hands for me was a must. Had a couple of minor issues and had to read some of the directions a few times before they made sense but overall it was pretty straight forward. I took it for a quick 100 mile lap and it's just what the Doctor ordered! At highway speeds around 90 the air was at the very top of my head and I could hear the radio clearly with the screen all the way up. At the 17 inch height I still look over the screen which is important to me. In town dropped back down to the 13 inch height and let the wind blow. This screen is awesome, now I have to figure out how to tint it. Per Pedro this is the very first one on an F6b anywhere (except his of course). Pics tomorrow or Monday.

I have the second only Windbender electric on a F6B. The electric shields are great to have. The ability to change the wind flow over the bike with a push of a button is great.

The Ergomot is a little more aesthetically pleasing

Everything is hidden and the mechanics are doubled up
