Adjustable Windshield System
Triumph Tiger Explorer
Please read this entire manual before proceeding with installation.
What is in the box:
(1) Set of preassembled MadStad brackets
(1) Aluminum mounting (adapter) plate
(4) M6 x 12mm screws
(4) M6 flat washers
(4) M6 lock nuts
(8) M5 Phillips Screws
(8) M5 black plastic flat washers
(8) 1/8” thick rubber washers
OPTIONAL:
(2) Side Deflectors 
MadStad brackets are designed to bolt to a curved surface like
the metal adapter plate included in this kit. The new windshield attaches to
the top of the brackets with Phillips truss screws, flat plastic and soft
rubber washers. Loosening the two adjustment knobs on our brackets allows you
to change the windshield height without getting off the bike.
Factory Windshield Removal
You will need to remove your factory windshield; it is not adaptable for
use with these brackets.
Bracket Installation
The adjustable brackets attach to the MadStad adapter plate as shown on page
3.
Use the four M6 x 12 screws with washers and lock nuts as shown in the diagram
below. 
The knobs on the brackets go to the insides (facing each
other) with the knob sides up. When both brackets are installed it should look
like the diagram below:
The adapter (mounting) plate then
attaches to the windshield mount in place of the stock shield. You will use
the factory M5 windshield screws with the plastic flat washers and rubber
cushion spacers (thick rubber washers) provided. Slide the flat black plastic
washers onto each of the windshield screws, slide them through the adapter
plate and attach the rubber washers to each screw on the back side of the
adapter plate. (See diagram below.) Then screw the adapter plate into the
rubber well nuts where the stock shield was previously installed. 
Windshield Installation
- Pre-install the Truss screws & washers into the windshield holes as shown in the image below.
- Once all four of the screws are in place, gently guide the screws into the Weil Nuts in the brackets until all four are set.
- Hand tighten the Truss screws until they swell up behind the bracket and are firmly holding the windshield.
Adjusting the Brackets
The knob screws release the brackets allowing the windshield to slide and
tilt. Loosen one turn only for height adjustment, but several turns out are
needed to release for angle adjustment. These knob screws must always be
tightened securely before riding.
The basic starting position of the windshield should be angled about the same
as your forks (roughly 60 degrees) with the top edge of the shield at about
your chin level as you look straight ahead. Tighten the knobs and go for a
ride to see if the air flows smoothly over your helmet. Do this on a calm day
if at all possible; windy days make it hard to judge the airflow.
Don’t ever try to adjust the mount while in motion!
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 a notch or two, and/or adjust it up or down if necessary. Re-
tighten the knobs and go for another ride. Test until you get the best
results.
