The stock "shorty" is worthless, need to replace it.

I bought the Honda line 1 but I think it could be wider
I just got the 15" light grey Cee Bailey. I am 5'10" and the wind hits right on the top of my helmet with this shield. (perfect) :D
What are ya'll thinking about the BaggerShield adjustable? The more I look the more practical it appears. Flip up for open road and down fro run around??
F4 Customs has a great windshield that has its Highly Scratch Resistance coating and offers the shields for the F6B in different heights in clear and tint. There has been really good feedback from the riders.
See them at www.f4customs.com or call 330-968-4644 and ask for Don.
I went with looks over function. Coming from a cruiser without a shield I'm use to riding with the wind in my face. This is a Cee Baileys 9 inch shield.

Love it...I am 5'10 and can now hear the radio over 60 mph. No more wind buffet at all
I recently purchased the F4 Custom -2 tinted windshields. I did a lot of research and am extremely happy with the product. If you want a cheaper windshield or lower quality, there are plenty other companies offering those. But if you want the best and most durable, you are definitely getting your money's worth with the F4 Custom.
Cee Baily's 9" opaque for me too. Haven't tried it out yet, but installation really was easy (the hardest part turned out to be getting that rubber grommet in the fairing bolts back in the hole).
The Decepticon logo sadly had to come off before the adhesive foam had a chance to set. The slightly curved surface meant that the rigid plastic wouldn't stay fully attached on the edges. I think I'll go with a more traditional decal.
Because OF COURSE the F6B is a Decepticon. I mean, look at it! :icon_twisted:

I'm 6' 0". So far the height appears perfect for me. I can look over the windshield with minimal turbulence (none at most speeds) and no trouble hearing the sound system.
I have the bagger shield and like it a lot. I haven't used the flip up portion yet.Quote:

Just installed the Baggershield 19" vented clear on my F6B today.Fit was great and install was easy.What a difference.I look over the top as my 6'4" frame has a long torso.No wind blast and the stereo sounds clear at any speed.Shield was set up for the 3 existing mount bolts and is steady as a rock as I rode it in pretty high winds today to test.
.....and it works great!

Added some pics of the windshield-not great pics but it is raining outside today.Quote:

I wanted to buy Ergomot power windshield but decided on Baggershield (at least for now!) because I think the dark tinted one just looks awesome on my black F (and Ergomot does not come tinted yet, I asked). Not to mention several hundred dollars difference. I was also amazed how simple was to install it even for someone like me who missed shop class in school. Installing Ergomot windshield scares me, and I don't have all the tools required either. But who knows, maybe in the future if it comes tinted... I do miss my power windshield on my BMW K1200LT (was black, of course).
I hope this helps.
Got it. Installation easier than expected. Road tested big time. I don't think I'll need the flip-up portion. Looks good. Good value.Quote:

Install is 15 minutes at best, and hey, it’s Cee Bailey=quality.
Got the 13" from Cee Bailey's, in dark. Just love it ! I am 6'0" and can see over the top easely. I don't like to see through, so it is perfect.
Windbendera are in stock and ready to ship!
I just installed the factory tall with vent. It is perfect for me. Thanks to smokinjoe187 for the great deal on his used shield.
I went with 7" opaque from cee-baileys been on cruisers forever so not too bothered by wind.
i also have a electric wind bender, that works very good, with just a touch of a switch i can raise and lower it for the perfect ride with no wind buffeting at all, and drop it for in town, or fast cornering with the sport bikes. sometimes i may ride five different gl1800 in one day, that have all different types of shields, this wind bender is the best i have ever tried on a gl1800. daleQuote:

I have only had my bike for a few days so far, but I really like the 19" adjustable Baggershield..Seems to work for me at 5'9"...I just don't like the drone at 60-75 that I get from the Cobra Pipes..Interesting though, If I flip up the face shield on my HJC helmet most of the drone sound quiets down.....
Just...FYI...while these folks are not a forum sponsor...yet...I just got off the phone with the manager at Clearview windshields, and they are a couple days away from actual production of their windshield for the F6B. They have a prototype out there right now, and a test rider, and this weekend should see the end of testing, and the beginning of production. I have had 3 or 4 of the Clearview windshields in the past, LOVE them, and the difference is that they also incorporate a little flip up towards the top of their windshields, to drive the air flow UP higher than what the top of the windshields itself would do.
Personally, I am going to wait a week or so and see what they have come out with. I have also directed them to contact our forum boss, and talk about forum sponsorship.

Hope your recovery is going well, Miles.
Check out Cee Baileys they have wind shields just for this model. They come in different tints and 1'' increments for height not just this is what we have ,you have a choice I got the dark green at 11'' height and it is perfect for me I'm 6' tall and can see about 25' feet in front of me.. I have purchased 4 other wind shields from them for other bikes they are quality shields. Check them out you won't be unhappy.Quote:

this is my new 1 18 inch
Bagger 11" is great looking and perfect solo, even 75+.
19" add on is a quality attachment and my passenger loves it.
Great quality.
Wanted a flip shield. Have them on other baggers and they kick wind another couple inches.

Hello mustangjake. Can you tell me how high the screen is from the rubber. I am from holland and wants to order such a screen.Quote:

I bought a used goldwing shield and slowly been chopping it off.
At 17 inches it was to short now this is for me and my riding position.
There are a lot of variables when getting a windshield.
Bruce B.....Loved my Clearview shield, great quality..... downside is wait time...They start making yours the day you order....

Just to add my two cents, first mod I did (based on your inputs from this great forum) was installing the Baggershield adjustable.
Absolutely love it. Here in TX, even in Fall/Winter, you may have days where you want the adjustment -- cold morning ride, warm afternoon ride home, etc.
The lower is tinted and adds that sinister look to the F6B when the top is flipped down. In this configuration you can look over the shield and get some airflow (I'm 5'8") when the air is warm. Or, you can pull over, flip the shield in <60 seconds, and get full protection. I rode in this morning @ 70MPH in traffic with my face shield up jamming to tunes. Life is good.
After years of not having a shield, what the hell was I thinking . . .
