Madstad Adjustable Windshield System for Honda Gold Wing GL1500 (1988 - 2000)

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.

  • Black acrylic base plate (replaces the stock windshield)
  • A set of Madstad adjustable brackets
  • Acrylic windshield
  • All required mounting hardware 

We replace the factory windshield with our own shorty version then bolt our adjustable brackets and shield to it. With the shield separated from the fairing 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. It also means you don't have to hide behind a tall, dirty and distorted windshield anymore but can enjoy an open view of the road instead!

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.

Good Upgrade.

The Madstad windshield performs as advertised. With the screen in the tallest position wind turbulence is minimal even on the highway behind traffic. The install took some time to get it right. The metal support base needed contouring to fit the attachments and the 6M fasteners used to attach the brackets to the base were not included in my kit. One quick trip to the hardware store for some stainless steel replacements and the job was done. The Madstad wind shield is the best I have tried so far on the f800.

No more buffeting!

This is the third windscreen I've tried to reduce the buffeting at highway speeds. The stock windscreen was useless and the Yamaha touring screen, although an improvement, was still allowing more turbulence then I desired. Purchased the Madstad after recommendations from a fellow rider and took advantage of a 20% discount. Immediate improvement! Althoug the screen is unremarkable in its design, (looks like an old Vespa screen), with the winglets installed it prevents buffeting! I am 74 inches tall and sit tall in the saddle. I ordered the tallest screen.

Great Windshield

I installed the adjustable windshield on my wife's Royal Enfield INT650 and she loves it. It was very easy to install and adjust.

I gave it 4-stars because some of the mounting screws were too long. A couple of the holes on the INT650's triple clamps were blind holes, and the bolts supplied bottomed out. I had to get new bolts that were a bit longer than stock, but not as long as the ones in the kit.

Kind of works well… when it works

Firstly, I’m not sure why this design made it into production. The screws that hold the adjustment in place simply do not keep the windshield in the set position, no matter how hard I torque them. I can’t imagine this is an impossible problem to solve, and now I’m going to have to DIY one myself.

Speaking of DIY, I was a little bit let down by the wind protection. I measured and I still got a bunch of turbulence on my helmet, and the angle of the screen got in the way of my DMD tablet mounted above the gauge display on my BMW F750GS. I was able to solve both issues by putting a bunch of rubber washers stacked against the upper mounting screws of the windshield, but it’s not ideal. I’ll add that I had the above issue with the adjustment before I added those additional washers, so it’s not a matter of increased wind resistance.

The side deflectors do work quite well, however, keeping wind off my chest, and I really like the OEM+ look.

Thank you for leaving your review.

Here's the troubleshooting steps to keep your knobs tightened:

- The metal coned portion of the knob, which inserts into the bracket, should not be visible at all when properly tightented. This means the black part of the knob will be COMPLETELY flush with the bracket surface - with no space between them.

- You'll notice scalloped or rounded areas on the top part of the brackets. This is where the slightly coned metal portion of the knob must seat into.

- The easiest way to ensure this happens is to slightly wiggle the windshield while tightening the knob. You can check visually to see that it sits into the bracket scalloped slot.

Please contact us if you continue having issue with the knobs.

You may have noticed, but your Madstad F750GS kit includes a plate where you can mount a standard resevoir type ball mount. This allows you to have a custom mounting setup, rising up the back of the factory dispay panel. Other brands can also work, but we offer this complete setup from TackForm mounts: https://madstad.com/collections/motorcycle-mounts/products/tackform-enduro-series-perch-brake-clutch-reservoir-mount-single-ball

We're glad you are finding good results from the side deflectors and that you like the OEM+ look. If you think that the next size taller windshield will help, we have a 45 day period to purchase another size at 50% off (windshield only).

Thank you - Madstad Support
