Windshields

[Doug44]

I use a C. Bailey 13", i'm 5'7" and can see over it just fine. Some wind in the face (but no real buffeting) which I'm not used to from my long distance ride (K1200LT). Going to go to the 15" size next month, should fill the bill just fine.

I also have the 13" C.B. am 5'7" short legs but am tall from waist up. I look well over my shield and like you some days wish I would have ordered the 15". However for the spring & summer months I am staying with the 13" but might change this fall. Looking over the shield is a must for me and with a vent in my C.B. shield And Baker Wings under the mirrors I seem good to go this spring. Those Baker Wings are amazing when shut keeping cold wind off your hands and shoulders also.

This topic is well discussed on the forum, before plunking down benjamins on something, do a little research. I have a baggershield, mainly because I like having the option of extending it for rain and such. My wife has a klockworks, and she loves it. we also had our seats modifed somewhat, hers lowers 1.5" and pushes her up 2". I just had a heated element and backrest added.

F4 Customs
Honda OEM Tall

You can easily research any or all of them. You are most probably looking at an 11'-13" shield depending on the model you choose. Happy hunting!

I have used the Honda OEM tall and F4 customs. I prefer the F4 with tint and vent because of its clarity and the ability to clean with household glass cleaners due to its coating. I like to be able to look thru or over the shield so I chose an 18" model.

I prefer the Baggershield over the others..5'9" and works great for me...Madstad is also okay if you can live with all the hardware!!...As said above, there are many good choices so do some research and don't spend a lot of money you do not have too....Ride safe

National Cycle Vstream is the best one I've tried for wind management with little to no buffeting. I only get buffeting in cross winds which is unavoidable on a bike regardless of windshield used. I look through the shield, but can look over it by changing my seating position. It's made for the Goldwing, but easily installs on the F6 with no modification. I've been through 4 shields before finding the Vstream.

National Cycle tells me this windshield will not fit properly on my 2015 F6B and they are working on one that will fit and should be out within a couple of months.

Did the mount points change on the 2015s?

It fits just fine, just need thicker rubber washers as mentioned above. I actually emailed National about 8 months ago and asked them if they were going to make a specific shield for the F6 and they said they would work on it. I guess they are still working on it, but the Goldwing shield does install easily as is. I did get some scratches under the shield from it rubbing, but was told by a Gold Wing owner that the shield does that on regular Goldwings too.
