Madstad Ultimate Bumper for Polaris Slingshot (2015 - 2019)
** 3-6 WEEK LEAD TIME - MADE TO ORDER **
Transform your ride
Madstad’s Ultimate Bumper upgrades your Slingshot with an all-aluminum front that is lean and mean with dual spotlight bars and more ground clearance than the factory plastic wing. Much stronger than the factory wing, the Ultimate Bumper replaces it and attaches directly to the frame. There are no steel parts to rust, and no plastic panels to crack!
Customer testimonial
"I just wanted to send you all a message to thank you for an outstanding product. At first I was leery of the price, but when it came in and I saw it, I was totally impressed. Thank you again for such a great product. Oh, and by the way, I talked to one of my group members who went to an OEM front spoiler, and it ended up costing him $1,400.00 to replace it. My money was well spent. When I am on the road this coming riding season, you can bet that I will be spreading your name around. Nothing but praise for you. Respectfully, Larry M."
Our drop-in bumper kit requires no drilling and no modification to your Slingshot. It comes in small sections which are easy to bolt together, then attaches to the frame as one complete lightweight assembly.
Grilles and Colors: Two center grille designs are available, a Slotted style which has a similar design as the bumper inserts, and a Honeycomb. The center grille and the panel below it are powder coated a satin black color to match the Polaris plastic panel above them.
When picking colors, whichever component you choose to have a Polaris color, the other you must chose Satin Black or it will not be available for purchase. - thank you!
The colored components are the left and right Bumpers (round tube shapes), the Inserts (slotted panels in the center of each Bumper shape) and the Center Sides (the vertical panels on each side of the center grille). We can color these components one of two ways:
#1 - Bumper is Satin Black, Insert and Center Sides are the Polaris color:
#2 - Insert is Satin Black, Bumper and Center Sides are the Polaris color:
When picking colors, when you choose one part to have a Polaris color, the other part must Matte Black. Otherwise, it will not show as available for purchase.
2015-2017 Slingshots already have wiring harnesses in place so the sealed LED spotlight bars just plug right in and all you will need is an Otto dash switch and a BWD #R6367 or equivalent relay (not included). 2018-up models will require an accessory wiring kit.

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.
