Wow, maybe screwed too strong a word...

When I first rode my bike home from the dealer, I wore my novelty beanie helmet because I traded my HD for this bike. I only had sunglasses that I had to wear also. Was a rough ride home but I would never say it was unrideable. Got home and switched out to my 3/4 helmet and continued cruising. That night I ordered a new windshield.

Every f6b looks exactly the same, except color, when they leave the factory. Every panel, screw, nut, bolt, pushpin etc., will fit every other f6b. Odds are that every person who bought this bike is totally different. YOU have to fit the bike to fit YOU.

If the bike came w/no radio, the shield would be fine. But to sell a bike with stereo that is useless to a large percentage of buyers without further investing in a taller windshield seems like b.s. Have you ever seen a bike that everyone has to buy a new windshield for it in the first week? That is my point, not wind, I had a vtx 1800 before the bmw k1200lt, I like a little wind, but don't like buying bike w/stereo that is inaudible without further investing in a screen. Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, and yes it is the best bike I have owned in the last 32 years. jim

Jim,
I think they built this bike for me! Or maybe someone who always wears a full-face helmet and helmet speakers or earbuds. I like the stock height screen, I even purchased a dark tint one and cut it down shorter than stock and have managed to put on over 10,000 miles since September. True, I do like how the short screen looks but have no problem in the rain or cold. Mike

Don't you love America!!..We can, at least for now, express our own opinions and desires and ride with what we want and like....Choice is great and I hope we can all continue to equip our bikes as we feel fit to do...."Too each his own", as they say!!

Jim,

Screwed is a bit strong - imparactical, annoying, bothersome may be better. Others see it as an opportunity, even a gift, to be enabled to shop and install aftermarket upgrades. Some may say it can lead to obsessive and compulsive actions!

A windscreen is cheaper and easier than lowering the bike to meet the inseam of a 5'2" rider.......

I hated the stock screen in the winter. Too much cold air. But now that summer, and 95 degrees with high humidity is upon me, I think I will switch back from the BS 17".

I am one who was certainly going toget the tall shield anyway. I knew that from day 1. I absolutely love this bike.

My dealer right off the bat installed the tall screen and fog lights,while not perfect it made the bike ridable...
i have never looked back..im trying to find the right summer screen now but i may just stick to my current screen and open the vent!!

The aftermarket accessories for this bike is wonderful compared to my vt1100t. So as others have said, you can really make this bike your own.

I think im gonna take a shower and hop on her this morning.
