Slingshot windshield

Most people think of the Baker Air Wings as a way to bring cooling air into the cockpit and they do a great job at that, but they also do a great job at blocking cold air out on those cool days! For those of us that transitioned from two to three wheels when you open them up it brings back the feel of riding a motorcycle.

OK, so my next question. If it wasn't for your fear of the boost gauge getting wet, would you have changed it? Now that you did, and have seat time with both, if you didn't have to worry about gauges getting wet, which would you prefer? Is the Madstad a lot colder due to the air flow? In the lowest position the Madstad 13" would be 3" above the stock. Did the airflow channel over your head OK, or was it still a bit too low? The weather here it a lot cooler than in Texas, so just asking lots of questions before I pull the trigger on one. No chance to check out other setups in person.
I like both windshields. The MadStad and the Tallboy both may flex in heavy wind since they're made from slightly thinner plastic than the F4 windshields. If the flexing might bother you, then maybe try the F4 Customs windshields.
I have a TD Top and the Tallboy +2 gets very close to the Top's front frame member. The MadStad, now sold as Twist Dynamics, too, a is nice in that it allows you to increase or decrease how much air you want to flow under the windshield. Drilling new mounting holes will allow you to lower the windshield even more, but the holes I added were actually a little too high at roughly 1" above the original mounting holes and allowed the windshield to be so low that I had to raise the windshield before opening the hood. See my post 17, above.
Although the MadStad can be adjusted a little for front-back (angle) position, it is more upright that the Tallboy +2. This may not be important w/o a top, but the Tallboy is angled more steeply to be pretty much in line with most tops.
Before buying a new windshield, contact the manufacturer and ask them what size they'd recommend for your height and whether you prefer to look thru or over the windshield. Some of the windshield manufacturers post height vs windshield size recommendations.

Just throwing this out there for information someone may want to consider when purchasing a windshield:
Why we do not have a tall windshield

I have the original nascar tall boy and love it. I'm 5'11" and look through it but my seat sits a little lower than stock also. I like them more than the others out there as they are more raked back at what I think is a more complimenting angle. I've had zero issues with it flexing or cracking even during the 1/2mi races where I am hitting 150mph.

If anyone has an oem 2015-16 shield with no scratches or dings I'm interested.
Where are you at? I've got one off a 2016 here in Huntsville AL if you are close enough to pick up

Check is in the mail or will be tomorrow. I would normally like to wait for the shield to arrive before sending check, but your well known on the forum so am not concerned. Thanks again...

Land a week before at Jonathan Creek from Wednesday to Saturday.
Then moving to the house we rented that Saturday, and staying there for the event until the following Sunday. Staying at Jonathan Creek again that Sunday.
Then hit the road Early Monday for home.
Uncle BillyBob is keeping my trailer for the week.
I plan on gettin' a little shitty at his place, Peeing in his stream, and watching my DNA flow right past Dieter's!!
Gonna be epic!!
Then back home to see a psychologist, cuz I don't know how I'm going to survive 10 days of nothing but Slingshot!
I'm afraid I'm gonna lose my shit!!
(You gonna ride with me in "Parade Mode' brother EJ?)
