Taller windscreen

[GiddyupF6B]

I agree with you Giddyup
I like the looks of the stock windshield and its very effective for me. I'm 6' and the wind hits me from my mouth up.
I replaced it with 11" Baggershield and in the lowest position it's about as good as the stock. All the way up it barely hits the top of my head.
Just ordered 9" Cee Bailey.
The Baggershield looks like its Angled different than stock and the Cee Bailey looks like its shaped-angled like the stocker.
If it doesn't work I will get the stock tinted for summer riding.

So why are you switching out from the 11 inch baggershield? It seems to have a great look and is 5 inches taller than the stock. It doesn't look as nice to me as the 9inch Cee B but its still sharp looking and if its functional why go shorter? I don't mind the look of the baggershield and if it has good wind protection that might be the one BUT if it isn't any better than the 9 inch Cee B than that one hands down for me wins in the styling department!

The Baggershield doesn't look nearly as good as the stocker to me. The stock shield is really not that bad just needs tint. Gonna try the Cee Bailey 9". It looks to have the stock angle. If its close I may get the electric option for it. Really just wanna try the shield. Not a lot of options.

I bought the 17-25" bagger shield screen. Keep in mind that this is measured with the extension top deployed. I have the shield in the lowest position and the top stowed behind the screen. The dark smoke screen measures 13" from the top of the screen to the rubber gasket. I am 5'7" and the air hits the top of my helmet. I have extended the clear top and then I am completely covered. I can see over the smoke shield without issue.

I love the look of the stock wind screen but darker tint would look a bit nicer to me. I don't care for look of the taller screens like the regular goldwings.

I'm 5'10" 220lbs and I have an arthritic neck. The stock shield allows the wind to hit me around my upper torso to just below my neck, leaving my head and helmet in "clean" air. The only time my helmet "wobbles" is when I'm passing a semi or some other very large vehicle. Now it may be the aerodynamics of the helmet (Shoei Neotek) that make it comfortable in clean air.

I'm worried about the wind that is hitting me in the chest moving up with a taller shield. Just clipping the top of my helmet may be harder on my neck than catching the more turbulent wind on my torso.

I hate to call the tall shields "old man" shields especially since I'm in my 50's and some might say I fit that description, but I'm not ready for conventional wing. A taller shield would make listening to music easier but I just don't like the look of the taller shield.

I suppose if I really start to "Tour" with this bike I may want to change.
The bottom line is maybe as I accumulate miles I may choose function over form, but for now I'm staying stock.

I'm going to try the 9 inch Cee Bailey and see how that does for me. It looks awesome with the dark tint and flows well with the lines of the bike. I'm not ready for an "old man" shield yet either. All my friends are already teasing me about getting a Goldwing but I don't think they realize yet just exactly what I am getting. The F6B is a sleek, sexy, machine....not grandads wing from back in the day. They will soon see........nothing but my taillights! Lol

Giddyap,

Maybe one of the members who might have replaced their nine might let you 'test drive' it. Details to be worked out later.

I recently made a mistake buying one too short( i really AM an old guy). It would be nice to demo one before spending the big bucks. Both UTurn and i have 13- to 14 inchers for sale. But they may look too tall for you. The shorty windshield does look cool, but this old boy needs to protect his hearing with the tallest one he can barely see over.

Good luck and God bless!

I have the 9" Cee Bailey windshield and I love it. However what I like and what other riders like are more than likely not the same. I came from a Vtx 1800c that didn't have a shield at all so I'm use to the wind in my face.

This is encouraging news since my CB 13" with vent is arriving via UPS later today. With my height of 5'10", I should think this choice will be about right. I'll know soon enough.

Hornblower: How did the 13" workout for you? If you posted I missed it. Inquiring minds want to know.
