Installation Instructions
Installation of this MadStad system is very simple. You will not need to modify the bike.
STEP 1: Remove the factory shield
Unscrew the factory windshield screws and remove the windshield. Save the screws.
STEP 2: Attach the MadStad base shield and brackets
Our base windshield attaches where the factory shield just came out, and our brackets attach right on top. Use the factory screws to attach these items onto your bike. The brackets will be oriented as shown on Page 1 with the black adjustment knobs up and facing inward.
STEP 3:
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 Well 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 MadStad Brackets
The knob screws release the brackets allowing the windshield to slide and tilt. One turn loosens the shield for height adjustment only, and 3-4 turns allows you to change the angle. These knob screws must always be tightened securely before riding and DO NOT attempt to adjust the brackets while riding! You must come to a complete stop before adjusting.
Start with the angle at about the middle of the bracket range, and the top of the shield at about your chin level as you look straight ahead. Then tighten the brackets and go for a ride. Experiment with different positions at different speeds until you find a combination of height and rake angle that eliminates buffeting and gives a smoother ride.
