What would you recommend for 6'0"? Thanks in advance.
    yes the base shield is the same for all sizes.. I'm 6.0 I use the 13 inch top screen in clear I have it set to the lowest position... The best shield I've ever tried I can hear my music at volume setting at ten at seventy miles per hour.. and yes they have several choices on tints for shield. I hope you enjoy your shield

    The recommendations on their site for shield sizes are pretty spot on in my opionion.

    I'm 6'1", but am long in torso. The site recommends a 15" shield for me, and that is what I ordered. I look over the shield regardless of its position (high or low). With it high, it's great for highway speeds or windy days and it creates a very still pocket behind it. In the lowest setting, it's great for non-highway speeds, and I get a nice little breeze. Since I like the ability to go back and forth within a ride, I created an electric linear actuator system to move adjust it while under way.

    By the way, for me, this unit replaced a Clearview Full Wing +4 wide with vent (i.e. the shield was 4 inches taller than a full wing shield, and was wider at the shoulders). The AngryStad is quieter and smoother by far.

    Thanks for the reply, I was looking at the website, I'm going to go with the 13 also, just not sure yet if I should go with clear or one of the tints.

    I have tried both. The one in my avatar is the dark one. It came with the shield when I picked it up off another member here.

    Although I look over both shields, I found that I still like being able to see through the shield for close-up stuff, so I run the clear one 100% of the time.

    That said, the dark shield looks nicer on the bike, so if you're a victim to style, you'll want that one. Everybody's needs are different.

    YMMV.

    What can you tell us about that? It sounds like an interesting mod.

    Sure. I have a few photos and part numbers in case anyone wants to play around. To avoid highjacking this thread, I'll start a new one over in the Garage section.

    I was wondering why this screen was being called the angrystad! I have a 2017 f6B and I really want a new sunscreen before riding season. I bought this bike new to me early this spring. Only had it for a month when a deer hit me on the front left side. Insurance company wanted to write it off, but there were no replacement bikes anywhere close by, so the Honda dealer told me it could take up to two months to get all the parts in!
    It's now over 6 months.... They tell me the final part will be in next week!
    Sorry for the long story! But I'm only 5'8" and I think I'm going to go with the 11" angrystad unless enough people tell me otherwise?
    I would also like to mount a radar detector on it somehow? Or somewhere in the bike. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    I have a 13 F6B with an 11" Stad - I am 5'10" and its just at the limit for me. Maybe a 13"? Up in Gods country there, probably not a lot of other F6B's in the area with the same shield you could at least sit on the bike and see how it feels.

    FWIW, I've got a 'stad on my V-Strom (a bike with notoriously crappy buffeting) and went through a few shields and have cut them up to use with the Mastad brackets.
