I finally got around to installing the windshield that I traded for on the F6B forum. I scored a clear Honda tall screen with a vent. The install was relatively easy, only involving two 10mm bolts on both sides of the front fascia inside the side mirror cavities and then three 8mm bolts that hold down the screen. I would say it took about 20 minutes total. The screen looks nice although it does take away a little bit from the bagger attitude. I would say that in this case function wins out over form considering the stock shield really isn't good for anything. I took it out on 7 and then headed to 41, then doubled back on 5 to 101. The shield does great at higher speeds and I can hear the radio even better now. Having the vent also comes in handy if I want to move air over the top or have some cool me off. For now I think that wraps up all the mods to the bike for the summer. To date I've installed the passenger backrest riser, the Rivco flip out pegs, and now this windshield [all which you can see in the pictures below].
