    Best replacement windshield?

    Hi again guys,
    As you know, I take delivery of my 2013 F6B this Friday. I see that the previous owner put a replacement shield on it but I don't like the looks of it from what I can see. I noticed the National Cycle shields and the VStream Touring replacement screen looks like something I might like a lot.

    What's the concensus on this shield? Is it worth the price? How well does it block the wind? I like the fact that it looks stock and uses the stock hardware. You can kinda see the one my bike has on it from this picture. Can anyone identify it?

    Thanks once again. I won't be riding much for the next few months so I'm already planning on my accessories.

    That looks like a Windbender. It works well for me but a lot of people don't like its looks.

    Yeah, I'm one of them! It looks like a retro shield you would put on a retro cruiser, ask me how I know! (I founded cruisercustomizing.com) and doesn't look right on a Wing IMHO.

    OK, so who has the National Cycle shield installed?

    Cool

    I need a vent...http://www.clearviewshields.com/moto...b-windshields/.... has the nicest optics IMO... The MadStad seems to block the most wind.

    The ...http://www.getklocked.com/shop/flaretm-for-honda-f6b... is the best looking (also with a vent)

    I went thru 6-or so on my B.... Each one did something nicer than the other.......


    The only one who can answer this is YOU...


    My suggestion would be to:

    1. Look at seats first

    2. Adjust handlebars second

    3. Windshield third

    OK Steve, since you mentioned it, what's the best seat? And what's wrong with the stock "sofa"? The previous owner installed a drivers backrest. Not sure if I'm going to like that or not.
    Thanks dude.

    I seriously believe that the best one is a Bagger Shield

    I like the look and I have had the 11 to 19 inch bagger shield on my bike since I bought it new in 2015 and its held up well and it is versatile being that you can have full coverage when at 19 inches or invert the top piece for the hot days taking it to 11 inches. and it looks good on the bike an is excellent at wind protection.
    Go to baggershield.com and check them out

    A Plug for Don at F4 Customs:

    I ordered and installed the F4 11"clear vented last week.
    I am 5'7" and it is almost perfect. Before the stock windshield created so much turbulence on top of my helmet I thought I would go deaf when I am perched on the OEM seat.
    I also do NOT like looking through a windshield. Now I have no buffeting and it is much quieter (still some noise).
    When I install my Mustang seat and drop down another 1" into the cockpit I suspect all the noise will disappear.
    Great Product.

    Ditto - copy that - and add ride with the windshield for awhile - you may like it.
    I just bought and installed the F4 and love it. I'm 5'7" and went with the 11" clear vented model.

    The F4 is an amazing product - their display at bike shows with the steel wool NOT scratching their windshield is very impressive.
    And if you are like my namesake, Steve 0080, and MUST have a vent, these are optimal.

    I went with Madstad because I thought the two piece in dark smoke just looked cool as sh$t and gave Isleen more of a badass look.
    And, it works well at throwing wind & rain over the pilot and not at the pilot.
    Cheers,
    Steve
