Heat is more of an issue with me than the cold, which is why I wanted as short of a shield that I could get and still get wind protection. I don't know how you guys survive in Florida and Texas. I'd rather have 60 degrees than 80.

    I tried riding without a visor on my full face HJC helmet and I can feel some changing wind on, and around my glasses. Not strong at all, but I think it would dry my eyes out on a long ride without better eye gear. I tried this because even with the 13" shield, I get visor vibration unless it is fully closed. On my last bike, with no shielding at all, I could leave the visor cracked open with no issues. It only vibrates over 40 -45 mph.

    I will replace my helmet with a better helmet, with better ventilation, and better aerodynamics.

    I also would rather have 60 than 80, but I would also prefer 100 over 20 !

    To me, this looks higher than 13 inches from the top of the fairing gasket. Does it measure 13" to the top from the fair? Thanks

    Over stock size

    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!

    I'm guessing this is 1 3/4 inch taller than the stock mini?

I'm currently running a stock Goldwing shield that I cut down to better fit the F6, it works really well but I wish I had made it 1 1/2 inches taller. Hurry up Madstad!....
    Sooooooo, did it arrive? I am looking at the Madstad myself, interested to see what you think. I have read many reviews and I'm right on the fence.

    Thanks for this great comment. We love to hear these positive comments from our riders

    I have tried the following windshields and now using the 9" Cee Bailey dark grey shield. I would agree the Madstad probably had the best wind protection, but still had some buffeting around the head and ears. I would say the 9" Cee Bailey blocks about 80% more wind than the stock 6" shield and Madstad about 90% more wind. I tried to like the looks of the Madstad, but in the end like the short Cee Bailey shield and don't mind a little wind. Surprising how much wind protection I get with the little 9" Cee Bailey over the stock shield.

    Windbender ST

    Hi,
    I just installed a clear 13" Windbender ST on my black B. Installation was a breeze, though i did drop a mounting screw for the mirror down the inside bodywork. Locally it was on the right side so it was easy to get to.

    Haven't ridden it yet but like how it looks. Will report back!

    Question

    Hey guys,

    Got a Windbender adjustable 11" which is a great shield and I'm keeping for winter/longer trips, but want some air round town, I've been seeing the national V-stream short advertised on the F6 ad block section at the top of the screen, has anybody tried one of these or know how big they are in comparison to the original? Don't have the original size to slap back on easily at the moment.

    There's a short screen from Honda which is apparently only 1" higher but the Vstream 'looks' a bit bigger than that.

    Failing that, anybody got a 9" screen or the Honda one with the logo they might want to sell?
