Installing Base Brackets and Supports
This windshield system is unique for MadStad because it has two shields – a
fly screen and touring shield.
The Base brackets are for the Fly screen and we start the process by removing
the (4) screws around the headlight housing.
A. Use the M6 x 20 screws from the kit.
Be sure the Quik-Release spools are facing outward Repeat the process for the
other side of the bike. B. The long Support Brace gets attached to the
handlebar clamp using (2) M8 X 50 Screw, Aluminum Spacer, and M8 Flat Washer
NOTE: Be sure to loosen only one handlebar clamp bolt at a time.
Quick Release Brackets and Crossbar Installation
Our Quick Release Brackets feature a Push Pin Locking mechanism that lock the
QR Brackets to the Mounting Brackets.
A. Pulling the Push Pin dial counter clockwise will lock the pin into a
retracted position. Turning the dial clockwise will release the pin. B. Slide
the Bracket slots onto the black spools, making sure that the adjustment knobs
are facing inward while the Retaining Pins are facing outward. ALSO – be sure
the Retaining Pin is locked and secure before riding the motorcycle. C. The
Crossbar has a small tip on one end. There is also a couple of slots cut into
the bracket.
Take a look at the picture below. Place one end of the crossbar, making sure
the tip from the crossbar is in the slot.
Using a M6 x 16 screw and M6 Lock Washer, attach the crossbar to the bracket.
Repeat on the other side of the bike.
Windshield Installation
A. Pre-install the Truss screws & washers into the windshield holes as shown
in the image at right.
B. 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.
C. Hand tighten the Truss screws until they swell up behind the bracket and
are firmly holding the windshield. Be sure not to overtighten.
Well Nut Tips: Pivot Screws
The MadStad mount has a pivot screw on each set of brackets, located near the
middle of brackets. A nylon lock nut keeps the screw in place, yet allows the
brackets to slide back and forth. It is adjusted at the factory to have a
minimum of play yet still allow the brackets to move.
The upper pivot hole gives maximum rearward tilt, and the lower pivot hole
moves the tilt range 5 degrees more forward. If for some reason you wish to
adjust the tightness of this pivot screw or move it to an alternate pivot
position, use a 4mm Allen wrench along with a 10mm socket or open-end wrench
to make the adjustment. If you tighten the lock nut completely you will not be
able to slide the brackets.
Adjustment Knobs
To adjust the windshield for height and/or angle you must loosen the knobs
about 1-2 turns to loosen the brackets allowing them to slide back and forth.
Gently push or pull on the shield to position it where you want it. Once you
have the brackets adjusted, you do not need to tighten the knobs down hard,
just snug enough to prevent them from moving out of adjustment.
Adjustments
You will have at least 2” of vertical travel and 20 degrees of angle to work
with. We suggest setting the angle first, usually about the same angle as the
forks on the bike. Loosening the knobs allows for adjustments.
Take the bike out and test. You may want to change the angle a little or
change the height – this is very much a trial and error type of experiment. Be
sure to stop and pull over when making adjustments.
Different weather conditions and different speeds will help in determining
what works best for you.
