Best Windscreen for Use W/Bullet Speed Top?

Check - NASCAR Tallboy +2 review

Might also want to talk to Don Frank at F4 Customs Windshields

I think he got a sale going on. He would be able to answer what fits with what.

As always thanks EJ, I liked yours with the Baker deflectors!

With the 'top' you can get the Baker 'Air Wings' that attach to the braces on the top, or some that attach to the top of the shield. lot more options out there now.

Frankie55 I personally advise people against using the tall wind screens. If it happens to fog up you had better be able to see over it.

I use an F4 +9 and it works well for me.

Good point, I forgot about that! Has happened many times on the two wheel motoring scooter. Had to stretch out and sit on the passenger seat or stand on the pegs to look over. Really scary on the interstate!

I might think about a go between height that I could do a stretch in an emergency situation.

Thanks!

I have had it happen 3 times on the interstate at 85 mph. I am running the stock 2015-16 blade that has been cut down 3 inches (1/8 inch above the center brace). Sling II had a +6 on it when I got it. There is no way I would ride with it during the summer, it was like riding in an oven.

F4Customs has reportedly offered a modified Honda Goldwing vent to allow airflow behind the windshield. On the Goldwing, the vent is supposed to always allow some airflow thru the vent to minimize fogging. On a windshield as wide as the Slingshot's, I'd imagine placing one vent in front of each seat would help in hot weather.

Some folks have reportedly used Vetter Vents, which are much smaller than the Goldwing vents, but simpler to install since the Vetter Vents only need a simple hole for installation. when installing the Vetter Vents, it's recommended to drill the hole slightly undersized and use sandpaper wrapped around a tapered glass or a sanding drum to enlarge the hole until it's just the right size.

Honda Goldwing Vent - https://www.ebay.com/itm/ABS-W…L-1800-04-16/333032812662. The Honda Goldwing vent comes in two styles. The GL1800 model is probably a better choice since it has a less extreme curve compared to the GL1500 model.

Do you have any +9 deflection at speed either on the windshield edges or the top edge?

I currently have a +5 w/baker wings on the sides and D.S. top edge which IMO deflects excessively at highway speed so much that I'm thinking a higher center brace would help??

I use the TallBoy +2 and it's my favorite windshield. The sides aren't as close to the posts as the F4 products so it allows for a good breeze from the front without putting you at risk of random debris. I have reviewed 5 different windshield and I would say the NASCAR +2 is the best windshield on the market followed closely by the Madstad/Twist dynamics 11" adjustable windshield (if you live in warmer states).

I bought a NASCAR styled Tallboy +2 after reading Br4hm4 ' review. That pic does an excellent job showing how the Tallboy +2 fits with the Top!

I've never been over 90mph but have not had any issues on the Interstates and turnpike at a steady 80.

My first thought of purchasing a full windscreen came while traveling the interstate. I got clocked by a large beatle directly on the forehead just above the glasses and below the helmet line. I thought if it would have been a nut or bolt kicked up by a vehicle it would have been a disaster. Good point about fogging issues. Both valid.

I think I'm going to go with the NASCAR Style Tallboy +2. Nice clean look! Only drawback would be exhaust fumes in the cockpit. I've read of issues with some tall windscreens in combination with certain tops experiencing this problem. BKL  Br4hm4, kev or anyone else using the NASCAR Style Tallboy +2 along with the Bullet Speed V-Back Top (or similar) having exhaust fume issues?

Frank depends on the exhaust system you have. A lot of different factors that can cause fumes in the cockpit. Windshield, top, and where the exhaust is exiting the Slingshot (probably the most important).

Just use the search and you will find out everything you did not want to know about this subject. Personally I have never had this problem even with the top and the Welter Duals. (93,000 miles and counting)
