Madstad Quick-Release Adjustable Windshield System for BMW R 18 (2020 & Up)

--- Not compatible with Classic or Roctane Edition ---

Transform your ride
Madstad’s patented adjustable shield 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. Better still, this system is quickly detachable without tools so you can switch back and forth easily from touring shield to original cruiser. Add the lower deflector system and now you're in a pocket of calm you won't believe possible on that bike!

What's included
Our complete drop-in system requires no modification and includes everything needed to mount and position the shield: 

  • Center mount quick-release base bracket
  • Quick-detach adjustable windshield brackets
  • Touring windshield
  • All requires mounting hardware

The touring shield is positioned in front of your instrument pod and the adjustable brackets allow you to set it for the most comfortable airflow depending on your particular height and riding position. Adjustability is critical for smooth comfortable wind protection while looking over the shield, not through it! All of our R 18 shields are about 20" wide at their widest point, as measured straight across the back. This is their finished width.

You can detach the windshield in seconds (and without tools) if you prefer to go without. Only the minimal base bracket is left behind. Same thing goes for the lower deflectors; they snap on and off in seconds with just a minimal bracket left behind.

NOTE: This system does NOT fit the Transcontinental (fairing) version of the R18.

This item pairs well with our optional lower deflector system (order here), which includes the following:

  • Deflector mounting base
  • Quick-detach lower deflectors

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.

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:

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.

Extremely satisfied

I’m extremely satisfied with the 24” windshield for my 2012 Honda NC700X. Installation was straightforward. I used the factory screws to push the factory well nuts through after watching a YouTube video. I intended this windshield to be for winter riding, but the wind noise was so minimal on today’s test ride that I just might end up using this one year round.

Triumph T120 windscreen

This windscreen offers enough adjustability to do the job, and is easily removable if I wish to ride without it. Glad I chose this product.

Great windshield

The windshield fixed my wind buffetting issues! I'm riding comfortably :) It looks good and functions great. The only knock I would give is poor instructions. I had to do a little head scratching but was able to figure out I needed to completely disassemble the brackets to get them in the correct alignment for installation (which the instructions suggest not to do - wasn't going to work the way it came!).
Overall - satisfied. If I need another windshield I'll come to MadStad. Thanks !

Thanks for leaving your review Neal. Awesome to hear the Madstad solved your buffetting and you're finding a comfortable airflow. We also appreciate you figuring out the brackets for installation and apologize the instructions were not super helpful. We'll add some clarity to the manual. If you still have any questions or need anything, we're at support@madstad.com.

Ride On,
Madstad Support

HD Pan plus Madstad results in probably the best protection I've ever had

The Harley Panamerica certainly has it's faults but with the Madstad winshield buffeting and wind noise on the highway are not among them. The Pan is a great stable highway bike and the relative calm the Madstad provides makes me want to ride more. I am very sensitive to buffeting and this is probably the best protection outside of a full touring bike. I am 6 feet tall with a 32 inch inseam with the seat in the high position. The 20 inch shield was not quite tall enough so ordered the 22 inch. I got the whole package of shield, display riser and gps bar. Not cheap but love all of it. My only complaint is that printed instructions in color should be included. I have noticed other companies are going cheap and relying on online instructions and making you print them out. Not acceptable! Also installing all three products at once requires diverging slightly from the directions for installing each product seperatly. I eventually figured it out with help from Madstad but they need to include printed directions for installing all three at once. With that said, spend the money and buy the package. Quality stuff as always.

We appreciate you for taking the time to leave this review, Douglas. We're very glad that you're able to dial in clean airflow and that you find the quality is to your standards. We also appreciate and understand the feedback regarding instructions.

Thank you - Madstad Support Team
