Saw this on twisted throttle site. Has good reviews . To me it looks like it will work just like the madstad . Same type of airflow
,great adjustability and simple to install. I am using the honda tall windshield with vent at the moment (it stinks).
I have all kinds of buffeting and crazy vacuum that seems to be pushing me from behind. Was thinking Madstad but this looks like it would
do the trick as it works the same way the Madstad does. Any thoughts?

Taxfree has one and I am about to. I got an OEM screen from Battoo for this purpose. I have had MRA on my Victorys and they are a high quality product and their price reflects that. Had the Vario screen on my Kingpin and the spoiler made a difference. The trick is getting the correct angle of attack. Avaition guys are familar with that expression. It comes from my RC airplane days.

I had the MRA X-CREEN on a shield on my B-King and it worked awesome, but it was the sport version, the larger touring size would work wonders on our bike

How well do you think it would work on a stock windshield or one slightly larger? I have the small Cee Baileys that I would not mind trying this with!

ah Heck I'm going to go ahead and order one. I mean it is essentially doing exactly the same thing that Madstad does as it covers all the same angles etc.
Hope the bad boy does the trick !

I highly recommend this product, it turns your useless stock screen into a highly versatile product. It gives you countless different position possibilities since the screen and the legs, it is attached to, have these circular, notches that tension down. I primarily use it as a 3 season screen, getting that breeze through for the hotter days, swapping it for a Baggershield in winter, excellent product. Autobahn tested.

Anyone have a link to the exact model that best fits the F6B?

If you go to www.twistedthrottle.com (http://www.twistedthrottle.com) and put in the F6B under "Shop by Bike" it will have 3 different models under "MRA Motorcycle Windshields".

Doesn't look like it covers much of the windshield width-wise?

All about felt/perceived wind deflection.

Yea, you would not think a silly small piece of plastic works---but it does. Made a world of difference on my Kingpin.

So tax free which do you recommend...the bolt on or clamp on. Pretty cool product and great reviews. Wow.

Your choice if you have a couple of bikes, that are fairly similar, I would get the bolt on to switch it back and forth. I have the Sportster so the one for the F6B would be useless.

Correction: The Clamp-On is the one you can swap back and forth. You could swap the Bolt-On, it's just a little more work with the same result. YouTube has a very good installation video.
