Windshield - Madstad Sport GS Slim

This windshield is unbelievable better than others. My head used to Shake on the highway: not anymore!

I was a tiny bit confused with the install directions at first, then my brain slapped me and everything made sense. The install was actually rather simple and the end product was a very nice fly screen that moves just enough wind to make the ride that much more comfortable. Very happy with the product.

I wanted good wind control for highway use on my 2024 Bonneville T120. I tried another windshield, which honestly looked a little more retro and was a little less expensive, but it didn't work as well as I wanted. I'm 6'1" and have a tall torso, so I need something pretty tall. I purchased the Madstad 24 inch windshield with the lower deflectors. It was easy to install and is easy to remove. I appreciate the adjustability and was able to dial it in to eliminate the helmet buffeting that was present with the first windshield. I placed the top of the windshield at the level of the tip of my nose. I look over the windshield while riding and enjoy good wind protection. The windshield and hardware seem well designed and high quality.

I have a MadStad system on my 2009 V Strom and once you have it dialed in that's it no more adjusting. This is why I decided to go with MadStad again on my 2021 V Strom, the hole system takes about an hour to install and adjust for initial set up. Today is the first day I have ridden with the system and have already made two adjustments. So far so good. I'm not to fond of the frosting at the bottom of the windscreen, this is done to prevent the head light from reflecting on the screen. I haven't ridden at night, but when I started my bike in the garage the frosted area lit up white. I'm thinking of possibly painting the frosted area or applying some type of window tinting. Other than that I'm happy with the MadStad system and I'm sure it will get better once I go through the trial and error of fine tuning it for my riding style. As for giving three stars, let's just say in my case, MadStad had some issues with bracket quality control which set me installation back 10 days. I realize this is probably not the norm but in my case it was a reality.

Had something large enough to cause a 2" diameter star in the original 22". So ordered a 20" replacement, works as designed, great windscreen.
