Madstad Quick-Release Flyscreen Upgrade for Thunderbird Storm System (2011 & Up)
What's included
This is a quick-detach flyscreen UPGRADE ONLY, it does NOT include the fork-mount base brackets and hardware. You should already have those as they would have been part of your touring shield system. This kit includes:
- Quick-detach flyscreen brackets
- 10" Extra-Dark acrylic flyscreen
Removing or attaching the flyscreen simply takes a flip of two locking tabs then the brackets with fly screen slide right up off of the forks, same as the touring shield system. Only a small bracket on each side is left behind (see photos).
Transform your ride
This optional quick release flyscreen lets you quickly swap out your touring shield for around-town riding or when the weather is so nice you don't want to miss out on the airflow! I still gives you some basic wind protection and a sharp looking upgrade from basic stock bike mode.

Have just a little over 200 miles after the windshield install. I like it and it works as advertised. It definitely helps with the wind and I can actually hear my stereo now. Install was a little confusing but I finally figured it out. 4 stars since I have yet to ride with it in the rain.

Transport: I had a bad surprise with the import taxes in France that UPS had increased, because of a problem of declaration made by Madstad, but the sales department of Madstad followed my request and refunded. Thank you for this good point.
average experience of use: - Windshield touches the handle protectors when the handlebar rotates fully. Unfortunattely is was not indicated, in the installation tutorial. - When riding, Windshield is noisy on the cobblestones while the screws are tight - But especially, Winshield is too far from the pilot and does not protect well from wind on the highway. If you tilt it, the air passes underneath. At the end, It is of course better thand Honda Windshield but not better than my previous Puig Touring Windshield.
Thank you for leaving your review Henri. We're very sorry that you had the import issue and are pleased to make that back up to you. Normally, handlebar contact is not an issue, so we'll be contacting you about solutions. In terms of performance, the bottom opening design is what provides clean airflow at high speeds. Generally, the height needs to be set so that the top edge is aligned to mouth level. The angle can be similar to that of the forks. If you have not already done so, please be methodical about your experiment - trying many possibilities. It can take a few rides at many differing angle/height combinations until you find the most relief from wind-buffeting pressures.
Thank you

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
