I bolted the brackets on the angle was all off to mount the windshield so I took the brakets apart thinking maybe they just had assembled them wrong but that was not the case I actually ended up just bending the snot out of the brackets to get the windshield on and I understand that bending them probably made more contact with the windshield and probably holds it down better but this was never mentioned in the instructions and in the pictures on the instructions it clearly showed them bent flat like they’re supposed to be and to make matters worse they really really cheat us on hardware there was only 4 well nuts in the bag and sure that would do the job provided that all of the well nuts on the bike were good but they never are so I ended using the 4 on the bike side and then digging through my box of nuts and 4 regular nuts to hold the windshield to the new bracket and then I ordered a pack of 50 for like $20. Definitely not impressed with the installation problems but it seems like a nice product once it’s installed and that’s why it got 3 stars from me I’d give it 2.5 if that was an option

I had seen a few Madstad windshields here and there. I had heard that they were really good too. But, I had never experienced one. The stock windshield was absolutely worthless on both high and low mounting points. I replaced it with another windshield (unnamed) and it was not much better but it was better looking and much more solid. So, I decided to give a Madstad a try on my 2021 KTM 890 Adventure. I watched
a Madstad Youtube video of how to determine the right size/height to purchase for me. Turned out it was spot on for me. The installation was super simple to do as the installation documentation was exceptional and simple. I set it up to the lowest position and the furthest back position after the installation was finished. Something that surprised me was the fit to my bike. I have Bark Busters on my handlebars and there was plenty of clearance and no contact with the windshield. My first ride out on it was to work the next morning and what a difference there was. I have not done any highway/long distance time with it yet but I am sure with what I have experienced so far, it should be a game changer.

This is the second Madstad windshield system & I am so happy with it. Went through multiple shields on the Africa Twin before finding these. As soon as I got the GS I was not happy with either the stock or the taller GS windshield. I knew these would work & I wasn't disappointed. Moves the air well & have lots of visibility over the top. No buffeting & would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a system that can be fine tuned in so many ways.
