Complete MadStad Adjustable Windshield System for Honda CB500X (2016 - 2018)
What's included
Our complete drop-in system is custom-made for your bike and includes everything needed to mount and position the shield. Your bike will not require any modification.
- One set of Madstad adjustable brackets
- Acrylic windshield
- Pair of acrylic side deflectors
- All required mounting hardware
The custom shield bolts to the brackets out in front of your instrument cluster. With the shield separated from the front of the bike you can adjust it for the optimum height, angle and airflow. This lets you set the shield for your particular height and riding position while pulling lots of air underneath it which is critical for smooth comfortable wind protection.
All Madstad windshields are made from 3/16" (4.5 mm) thick cast acrylic.
Colors & 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.
Transform your ride
Madstad's patented mounting system allows riders to adjust the height and angle of their motorcycle windshield resulting in much smoother airflow, better wind protection and a more comfortable ride than any fixed windshield can provide.
Riding is believing
With the windshield separated from the fairing 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. Most customers have found that they can actually get better wind protection with our smaller adjustable shield rather than a larger fixed one. You don't have to compromise wind protection to enjoy the open-air motorcycling experience!
Customer Testimonial
"Here’s my update on the MADSTAD system, installed today...along with my panniers. I’m 5’ 11” w/ 31.5” inseam. MADSTAD screen reduced wind noise about 75%. Buffeting reduced almost 100%. I think the system looks nice on the bike, YMMV. It’s definitely not a big cruiser screen, but just large enough to do the job, along with the very effective up/down/slanting adjustments of course. I wear a SHOEI full face helmet. VERY pleased on the longish test ride home…25 to a sustained 85 MPH. Whew…thank goodness!!!"

THE MOST COMFORTABLE WIND PROTECTION A MOTORCYCLE CAN HAVE

Great customer service and fast shipping. They had mine in stock or made is lightning fast because I got it in two days (florida to florida). You have to play with the height and tilt to get best results. The windshield is very clear and all the parts are high quality. Installation took me maybe about an hour or two and I'm not a very skilled technical person. I took my bike for about 10 runs and found a perfect height and tilt for me where it eliminates the turbulance above 50mph caused by the stock windshield. you still get wind, maybe more wind but it's smooth so your helmet isnt bobbling around. I got the 12" version.

I haven't installed the side deflectors yet. The top longer screws included are not the correct thread so I'll head to the hardware store to see if I can match up something.
Update: Even though I ordered the wrong year, Madstad called and they are sending the correct hardware pack to me. They are a stand-up company and great products.

Received the windshield ot was nicely packaged all the parts were wrapped and protected. It was incredibly easy to install four screws secure the old windshield new bracket attaches at those same screws put it on and was riding in less than 10 min. Adjusts easily and works perfectly. Very happy with my purchase.

I just purchased my second MedStad windshield system and I have to say I'm disappointed I have a 2015 and a 2013 victory cross country The first One shield I ordered I ordered without the cutout on the bottom but now that's no longer an option. I don't understand why that's not an option when the windshield sets a couple inches off the fairing of the motorcycle I would much rather have that cut out on the bottom of the windshield filled in like the first windshield that I bought I would think it would be easier not to cut that cut out out from the factory. I don't understand why this is not an option anymore. I love the system itself but I don't care for the look of the new windshields with the cut out on the bottom. Again it doesn't make sense when the windshield sits and itch or so off the fairing I would rather my windshield come down to a nice sleak point that they used to offer.

Look no further.. this will solve all your concerns. Had the brackets on previous
Had bikes and they were outstanding...this one is even better
