This Mads tad quick-release windshield system revolves around the fork mount brackets which will stay attached to the bike. The adjustable windshield, the fly screen and the lower deflectors are all removable and clip onto these fork brackets.

Please refer to the supplemental photographic installation pages for how to attach these brackets, and how to work the quick-release system. This manual will cover windshield installation and other instructions.

Windshield Installation

  1. Pre-install the Truss screws & washers into the windshield holes as shown in the image below.
  2. Once all four of the screws are in place, gently guide the screws into the Well Nuts in the brackets until all four are set.
  3. Hand tighten the Truss screws until they swell up behind the bracket and are firmly holding the windshield.
    Windshield Installation

Adjusting the Brackets

The knob screws release the brackets allowing the windshield to slide and tilt. These knob screws must always be tightened securely before riding. DO NOT attempt to adjust the brackets while riding! You must come to a complete stop before making adjustments. Also make sure that you do not set the windshield in such a way that causes your handlebars or hand guards (if installed) to hit the windshield when turning, or before reaching full lock.
To make adjustments, loosen the knobs 1-2 turns and set the windshield so the top edge is at about your chin level as you look straight ahead while seated on the bike. Set the angle at about the middle of the bracket range, tighten the knobs and go for a ride to test. Do this on a calm day if at all possible; windy days make it hard to judge the airflow.
To try a different windshield position, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop and out of traffic. Loosen the two knob screws and tilt the windshield forward or back 2-3 degrees or so, and/or adjust it up or down if necessary. Re-tighten the knobs and go for another ride.
Continue experimenting with different positions until you find a combination of height and angle that gives you the smoothest ride.
MadStad brackets each have a pivot screw, located near the center of the bottom bracket.
A nylon lock nut keeps the screw snugly in place, yet allows the brackets to slide back and forth. If for some reason you wish to adjust the tightness of this pivot screw use a 4mm Allen wrench along with a 10mm socket or crescent wrench to make the adjustment.
