I had seen a few Madstad windshields here and there. I had heard that they were really good too. But, I had never experienced one. The stock windshield was absolutely worthless on both high and low mounting points. I replaced it with another windshield (unnamed) and it was not much better but it was better looking and much more solid. So, I decided to give a Madstad a try on my 2021 KTM 890 Adventure. I watched
a Madstad Youtube video of how to determine the right size/height to purchase for me. Turned out it was spot on for me. The installation was super simple to do as the installation documentation was exceptional and simple. I set it up to the lowest position and the furthest back position after the installation was finished. Something that surprised me was the fit to my bike. I have Bark Busters on my handlebars and there was plenty of clearance and no contact with the windshield. My first ride out on it was to work the next morning and what a difference there was. I have not done any highway/long distance time with it yet but I am sure with what I have experienced so far, it should be a game changer.
This is the second Madstad windshield system & I am so happy with it. Went through multiple shields on the Africa Twin before finding these. As soon as I got the GS I was not happy with either the stock or the taller GS windshield. I knew these would work & I wasn't disappointed. Moves the air well & have lots of visibility over the top. No buffeting & would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a system that can be fine tuned in so many ways.

Love the shield, so much better than the Clockworks that was on it. Only complaint is that I wish it was an inch lower, I measured per the instructions but it came out a little high even in its lowest setting.
Work very well.

★★★★★Johann Borenstein“Before their install, I suffered from the constant, unmitigated buffeting at speeds above 40 mph. Now I can hear the engine, and that's a sound I like!"
★★★★★Murphy Motors“I have a stack of other windshields. I've bought over the years before I discovered the Madstad system, and none of them compare. Do yourself a favor and just buy the Madstad first!"
★★★★★Scott Beal“Long rides at freeway speeds were the worst because of the buffeting. I installed the 18" Madstad screen, keeping it at the lowest setting, and the buffeting is gone. I now have a nice quiet air flow around my head and upper torso, regardless of speed.”
