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.

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.
