    windshield ????

    I just purchased a new leftover 2013 F6B standard and rode it home from Crofton MD to the Allentown Pa area and the ride and performance was incredible compared to my HD Ultra i really need to replace my windshield. Im 6'4" and im using stock seat. I dont take alot of long runs
    Just wondering what people like about their screens. Looked online at most available and was hoping to make a decision soon. Just hate to buy something and not really like it
    Thanks for all the help.... Converted HD rider

    Congrates on the new ride.I too am 6'4" with a short inseam so I have a long torso.I have the 19" Baggershield with vent for 20 months and it has held up well.I look just over the top with stock seat003.jpg002.jpg and with the Baker hand wings almost all buffeting is gone.Pics I have don't show the hand wings on but they really do help plus the vent is nice to get a little airflow in when needed.Lots of windscreens to choose from so search is your friend.

    F4 windshield

    I am 6'2.5" tall and have an F4 18" windshield. I am very happy with this product. I rode from Memphis to Colorado Springs and got hit by 2 bugs during the trip. I look over this shield rather than through it. I cleaned off hundreds of bugs with nothing more than a gas station squeegee.

    There. I corrected your comment. It is very, very true!

    It seems like everybody---and I do mean EVERYBODY goes through the same steps to try to get things to fit just right. I am on my 3rd seat, 2nd set of risers and 3 windshield.

    1-Get the correct seat for you. Height is going to be different for everybody.

    2-You will probably need some risers and pegs to get the hand and foot position comfortable for your size.

    3-Finally you will need a windshield to fit your upper torso after your seat position has been established.

    Or you can just order the Madstad as it is adjustable. Some---including me--- are not especially drawn to the looks, but it sure works and you can add or take away wind as you like. You will also want a set of hand wings to help with the wind management.

    Laminar Lip

    I put a laminar lip on the bottom half of a bagger flip shield. I was commited to the bagger shield because I wanted the three pocket windshield pouch.
    I'm six feet with a thirty four inch inseam and this works fine for me.
    Also, the center pouch on the triple windshield pouch has a pouch for your gps. I cut a hole for the power and it takes some clips and stuff to get it angled right with a sun shade but it keeps the gps dry. Notice the empty handlebar gps holder. That is strictly for my sunny Sunday afternoon joy rides at home.

    I just picked mine up 8/20/2015 I changed the windshield after only 3 days. Just yesterday my wife and I installed the back rest. Actually I installed it and she brought sandwiches and refreshments. I have owned only one bike that would blow the doors off of the F6B, but it was hard to ride and was very finicky about RPM's and MPH. It was uncomfortable to ride for any long distance in spite of the high dollar custom seat.

    The stock screen did nothing for me but looked cool , took a few pics and then replaced the sheild .
    I just ran down to Fredrick , MD and picked up my new left over last month , maryland seems to be the land of F6B deals ... LOL

    Picked up my new 15 F6B on Monday and ordered the tall shield while I was buying it, it just came in so now I can ride! I had a Clearview shield on order for my last bike (2014 Vaquero) and called Clearview and they was able to swap out my order for a shield to fit my new bike. I got the large/wide recurve with slight tint and a vent, should be a nice addition to the bike!
