Transform your ride
Get long-range touring comfort like you never thought possible. Madstad’s patented adjustable system replaces the factory windshield mount and allows you to adjust the height and angle of your windshield for much smoother airflow and better wind protection than any fixed windshield can provide. In addition, we've added side deflectors to block lower turbulent airflow from hitting your body for a dramatically more comfortable ride.
What's included
Our new system is so well integrated with the bike, you will think it came from the factory that way. We've even added an integrated accessory mounting plate so you can attach your GPS unit front and center where it is very easy to see.
- A set of Madstad adjustable brackets
- Accessories mounting plate - Compatible GPS/Phone Mount: https://madstad.com/products/tackform-enduro-series-perch-brake-clutch-reservoir-mount-single-ball?_pos=2&_psq=tackform+&_ss=e&_v=1.0)
- Acrylic touring windshield
- Pair of acrylic side deflectors with brackets
- All required mounting hardware
If you have a stock adjustable windshield - our system is not compatible.
The Madstad adjustable brackets replace the plastic factory bracket bolting deep into the bike and keeping the windshield as close to the rider as possible. We've kept the shield as wide as possible (16" at bottom, 12" near top) while still providing hand guard clearance. The factory center cover plate can be snapped on to cover our accessories plate or attach your brake/clutch RAM ball mount to have your GPS right in your line of sight. Our side deflectors are completely separate and attach around and behind the turn signals. They are included in this kit for the ultimate in touring comfort, especially in cooler weather.
All Madstad windshields are made from 3/16" (4.5 mm) thick cast acrylic.

Riding is believing
With the windshield separated from the bike riders now have control over the height and angle of the shield to eliminate the vacuum that is the primary cause of most turbulence. The result? Smooth airflow placed exactly where it’s desired. You can actually get better wind protection with our smaller adjustable shield and look over it rather than through it while comfortably enjoying an open view of the road, at any speed.
Color & sizing
All our windshields come in three color options (clear, medium gray and dark gray), as well as multiple sizes. Here are our best guidelines for measuring to find your optimal windshield size:
How to measure video: https://youtu.be/biFx4_vVGG4
1) Review provided photo to determine the measuring point on the bike.
2) Measure up from the measuring point, maintaining the angle of the forks (two wheeled vehicles, 55-60 degrees for other models).
3) Select the windshield size that will be aligned to mouth level.
All of our adjustable brackets have at least 2" of up down range to fine tune the fit and about 15 degrees of angle adjustment used to dial in clean air.

Customer Testimonial
"I want to tell you that I absolutely love your system. Finding the sweet spot was fairly easy and gave me all the wind protection I hoped for. I am very pleased with both your product and customer service and I won't be afraid to tell others!"

I just purchased one of your windshields for my BMW F750 gs. I was hoping to stop the buffeting I was experiencing with another aftermarket windshield. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised with your windshield. There is some airflow which I like but no buffeting. I also do not have to look through the windshield. You make riding even more enjoyable. You may use me as a positive testimonial."

THE MOST COMFORTABLE WIND PROTECTION A MOTORCYCLE CAN HAVE

I bought this kit in case I wanted to install it. What I don't like is how high and close to the rider the bar is, at least in the pics anyway. After watching every install video I could find, I seen a post on a FB page where a guy showed how he installed bar in between the windscreen adjusting knobs on the Madstad windshield kit. I will try to use the bar in this kit, if the adjuster knobs are threaded the same, though I will have to shorten the bar by about 1/4"-3/8". I think this will be a cleaner install, and lower which will suit my preferences. I still think this is a good kit, I was just looking for a little tighter install. Some of my reasoning is I intend to use an iPad mini for navigation, and as large as that is, keeping the install with tight spacing will ensure I don't obscure too much windscreen.

Bought this windshield for my 2025 Pan Am CVO, it went on perfectly. So much more solid than stock. Not as easy to adjust, yet more adjustable. If you want a better windshield for your Pan Am, THIS is the one!

The windshield has great quality and is very sturdy.
Issue is, I do not feel much difference in wind protection. I tried all 9 combinations of angle versus position of the shield and to me wind noise is present at all combinations same as before installing wind shield.
Thank you for leaving your review, Koorosh. Normally, our Rocket customers experience much better results. Let's see if we can't make that happen for you.
It sounds like you've tried many angle adjustments. We also recommend, if you have not already done so, to adjust the height of the windshield during the testing/dialing in rides. The top edge should be aligned to about mouth level, or slightly higher, to achieve the maximum results.
If you've raised the windshield to the highest setting, and the top edge is not high enough, then you won't get clean air. If you determine that your windshield is too short, we have a program where you can receive a taller size at 50% list pricing. This offer is extended for 45 days after you receive the windshield system. Please take a look at our FAQs page, topic #2 and contact us at support@madstad.com to order. You will not be sending anything back to us. Thank you, Madstad Support Team

I love my Honda CTX DCT, but the kickstand never felt sturdy enough to fully support the bike—especially on uneven ground. After it tipped over last year as I approached it, I knew I needed a more stable solution. I’m happy to say I finally found it! Easy to install and a total game-changer. Confident, secure, and a joy to use

Super easy to install and works fantastic! As a side note, I ordered my windshield too tall. I installed the windshield, and used some painter's tape to establish the correct height. I placed some poster board behind the windshield and traced the contours of the edge on the poster board. I covered the top several inches of the windshield with the painter's tape and used the poster board pattern to mark on the tape where I needed to cut it down. I then cut the windshield down using a Dremel with a 1 1/2" cut off wheel for plastic, sanded the cuts, and used a small torch to heat the edges. Ended up perfect. I took off about 2 1/4" - so the point is be careful to measure what size windshield you need to avoid the extra work above, but you can modify it if you have too.
