Madstad Adjustable Windshield System for BMW F800ST (2006 - 2013)
Transform your ride
Madstad’s patented 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.
What's included
Our complete drop-in system is custom-made for the BMW F800ST (2006 - 2013) and includes everything needed to mount and position the shield. Your bike will not require any modification.
- Black aluminum base plate (replaces the stock windshield)
- A set of Madstad adjustable brackets
- The acrylic windshield
The mounting base is made of aluminum and bolts to your dashboard where the stock shield is mounted. The Madstad adjustable brackets bolt to this aluminum base then the front windshield screws onto the brackets. 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.
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. No longer must you compromise wind protection to enjoy the open-air motorcycling experience.
Color & 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.

Customer Testimonial
"I have the windshield installed and have logged over 600 miles thus far. The answer to my problems can be stated on one word: SOLVED! I have the lower brackets installed as shipped so I can move the entire assembly up only about 2/3 of the way and that's where it is now. The windshield stands up more or less straight because tilting it at fork angle increased noise around the helmet. As is, it's real quiet and ZERO turbulence unless I sit up unnaturally high. I may have to adjust even higher after I install my bar risers. This is the single best adder I've made to the F800ST. Thanks!" - P.B., Phoenix, AZ

"I just wanted to say thanks for the great windshield -- it's a big improvement over the stock BMW F800ST screen. I had a nice, comfortable freeway ride yesterday and could actually hear the engine for a change instead of getting whiplash every time I turned my head. So, again, I say thanks for a great product!" - C.S., New Brighton, MN

THE MOST COMFORTABLE WIND PROTECTION A MOTORCYCLE CAN HAVE

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,

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

This is a very nice system and I think it's the best for this bike. Easy install and adjustable up-down -tilt to get it just right. Also quickly removable.

Good shield, it works well, but it's a bit wobbly. Cross bracing would do it wonders, thankfully, I'm an engineer/fabricator and will fab something up.
Thanks for leaving your review Robbie. We're super glad to know it's working well for you.
Naturally there will be some movement with wind forces, but this should not be excessive. As a suggestion, take a second look at the knobs. They can take a moment to get used to. If the coned portion of the knob is not fully seated into the scalloped portion of the upper bracket, then there can be some undesired play. This can happen despite the knobs appearing tight.
If this is the case, the solution is to back the knobs off a bit and then lightly wiggle the windshield while tightening the knobs. This will help them fall correctly into the brackets.
Please contact us at support@madstad.com if you are unable to resolve the movement.

Fitment instructions could have been a bit better or at least better illustrated. The screen itself wasn't hard to install but the detachable brackets were a bit confusing how they worked. A bit of trial and error solved the riddle. As far as the wind protection it's near perfect. At highway speeds the wind pressure is negligible on my chest and there is no helmet buffeting at all. On some screens the redirection of air pressure sometimes gets shifted to the helmet and there is a fiddling period to optimize the result. This unit bolts up and works fantastic as is. It has to since no adjustability is available, or needed. While it might seem that 5 stars isn't warranted based on my mechanical aptitude the fact that it's a brilliant piece of kit makes up for my shortcomings.
Thanks for leaving your review John. We appreciate the feedback regarding the instructions and will see what we can do to improve them. Glad that you were able to get familiar with the height and angle adjusters and were able to find a smoother airflow setting. Looks like you did a nice job of installing, thanks for the photos. Enjoy and we're here if you need any support down the road.
