My Last Windshield??

[shooter]

Guys I think most of us will agree that the windscreen is the most problem area of the B. Getting the right shield with the right height is challenging at best. I've heard some guys talk about being on their 3rd , 4th , and even 5th shield. I'm ready to try again. So far I've tried the stock shield and a Cee Baileys 11 inch Grey tint. I like the CB but its still a little short. I don't mind the air , I wear a FF helmet. Its the bugs in the spring. I need to keep more bugs off the helmet shield. I like some air at the top of the helmet in the summer. I thinking about a CB 13 inch with a vent. I'm 6'1" and 290. Let's hear what you guys have and if it does the job. Tell us your size also that way we can compare performance as it relates to our size. We do a good job on this thread might save someone some money in the future. Like me. Thanks for your input.

Im 5'7", 29-30" inseam.
Mustang seat.

Stock shield lasted just the ride back home from the dealer. (35miles)

I didn't want to wait for my clearview to get here,
I "duct taped" the old harley shield I had in my garage.

A member here in my area let me use his cut-down-stock full wing shield for a week, which I liked the protection it gave me.

I've been happy with the Clearview (Medium height) w/ vent. My vent is always open one click which seems to smooth out the airflow a little bit.
I still get some wind on my head (a little bit of buffeting but not too bad: I don't wear a helmet unless required by law). I think the clearview's line matches that of F6 very well.

I've also tried the windbender(HP) but didn't like it much (the mounting rails, to be more specific)
So I had it for one day and put it up for sale.

I now also have a full wing shield which I found on craigslist locally, cheap. Although I like the protection it gives me, I just cannot stand looking though the shield.

So for now, the Clearview shield is on my bike. It's a great sheld w/ great looks, in my opinion.

I still wann try the madstad, though.

I recently put the Helibars on my bike and loving the fact that they are "adjustable". Madstad is also "adjustable", so I think I'm gona like it.

Guys I suggest you look at the F4 Customs windshields. We have the only one on the market that won't scratch with Steel Wool, sheds rain, and is optically perfect. For the best ride and reduced head buffeting we suggest that the windshield be no lower than your nose and we also suggest you look through the shield. Give us a call and let us help you decide which size is best for you. We offer 4 different heights in clear or tint and with and without vents.

I have used the BaggerShield Adjustable on mine since I bought it and I'm very happy with it. It adjusts from 19" down to 11". I adjust it down when I'm on a back road with reduced speed limit when I want a little more wind in my face. When I want to hop on the parkway I just flip it up.

V-Stream for me after trying 4 different shields. I have found that looking through a shield with a vent prevents wind buffeting best for me.

I just received a 13" CB with a vent yesterday but it is too cold to install it. I did take it out of the box and hold it in place and it doesn't look all that high. I am only 5' 7" and I can't imagine this shield being tall enough for you. This height was what CB advised me I needed sitting on the bike measuring the way they described. I do sit high in the saddle for a short guy but again I can't imagine the 13" shield doing what you need. Once installed I will post my findings.

Doug I have an 11 inch CB now and its 90% perfect. The problem is the bugs. I still get them on the upper part of the helmet and visor. When the bugs aren't bad it's perfect.

I'm 5' 8" tall and the Bagger Shield works for me. If it's above 50-60 degrees, I ride with the clear portion either off or flipped down. Actually during the summer it stays off most of the time. I think it's just a personal preference to what you consider as enough or too much wind. For me, I prefer the bike with just the lower tinted part both for aesthetics and for seeing over the shield. I prefer an unobstructed view. During colder weather riding, I do appreciate the added protection I get from adding the taller clear section.
