Looking for feedback from anyone who's fitted a Madstad screen? | ||

I've got Madstad brackets w/a 0g screen. I also have the Memphis Shades lowers. Together they work well to block the wind & make longer journeys very comfortable. I haven't run the brackets and screen without the lowers. Chris C | ||

You would recommend the clear adventure setup? THX | ||

My screen is tinted (gray). I don't think I've ever actually looked through it when riding. MY vision line is over the top of the shield.  I'm c 6ft tall and think that the color of the screen is fairly irrelevant 99% of the time, other than "looks". Chris C | ||

Fotoguzzi, that lift bridge in Duluth is one of my favorites to ride across. Everyone should see that remarkable bridge. Thanks for the pic! | ||

BuellBill, Bought a Madstad adjustable bracket, a very tall windshield (I'm 6'7" tall in shoes), and the stiffer black acrylic flyscreen cover to mount the whole thing to. Cost me $320 shipped. Great set-up. I don't have a problem looking through the tinted windshield (get the first level of tint even if you want clear--the tint mutes the shiny edges of a completely clear windshield very nicely). The adjustable brackets allow me to either look over it (city riding), or look through it (extended highway riding). Does a very nice job blocking the wind. The mounting brackets didn't sit completely flush to the acrylic cover it mounted to, but those can be bent to fit. I just didn't do it at the time I installed it, but I will be sure to do that the next time I need to get inside the cowl. The owners at Madstad were very helpful with suggestions, and even custom cut my extra-high windscreen (I think it's 24 inches tall). I highly recommend this well-engineered product (coming from a Product Development Engineer in the automotive industry). | ||

Guy's and Gal's, thank you so much! This is GREAT feedback. Im going to order the 20" screen as I'm 6ft tall. By the way the photos are brilliant too. Give a good idea how it's all going to fit. I hail from Sydney and we have a very active but small group of Buell riders, all passionate about their bikes. I'm about to embark on a 3,000 mile ride around Tasmania. Never been there but supposed to be a bikers paradise. Enjoy the ride! Regards, Bill | ||

I have a Madstad 20" Adventure screen, and like it a lot. I am also a big fan of the Memphis Shades lowers, but one must be careful of fitment: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/680096.html?1337129902 (Message edited by dtaylor on February 11, 2014) | ||

I use the Madstad brackets w/ Buell tall clear wind shield w/ Laminar lip. Also used a set of HD Air Deflectors (used on Ultras)in the same way as Memphis Shades. The positive side is I can adjust those as they pivot. | ||

Hey nice video Foto man! I recognize the bridge at Red Wing and the Oliver bridge in Gary New Duluth. You must've been up there also for the VBR last summer? I swear that was me jumping those rocks at Spirit mountain! I think I officially have a case of cabin fever going now. | ||

Yep I was at the VBR it was a total blast! windy tho.. the shot of me on the Oliver bride was my best "shot" of the whole summer, thanks to my wife and the GP suction cup. she brought the dog..  |
