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.

Tener 700 18"

Just got it. Came we mounting screws but that was quickly remedied. Good support, very solid product. I have not ridden it yet but had one years ago on a vstrom and I expect it will be great.

Awful Experience due to no hardware

I bought this as part of the modular system for the 2009 rocket 3. The main screen and fly screen were perfect and installed. The lower deflectors though. They are missing the hardware to secure the screen to the mounting bracket and for the mounting bracket to connect to the main assembly. (The packaging had random hardware). Contacted support on 12/20/24. They needed pictures. I sent them. They didn't sent me anything else. Opened a new help ticket through email and they stated the previous ticket was still open and that they were sending me hardware. It is now 1/10/25 and I still have nothing for the lower deflectors. At this point they should offer me a refund on the lower deflector if they can't get me the hardware.

Exceptional

Easy to install with simple tools. Fits well and blocks the wind. Probably took 30 minutes in total to install.
