Adjustable Windshield System for Kawasaki KLR650 (2022 & up)

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.

After trying to locate the right windshield for my 2024 Triumph Speedmaster I finally found the Madstad website and was able to order a custom one for my bike. It sure makes a difference when you ride into a swarm of bees! The ride is much more enjoyable having a windshield. The construction is top of the line and easy to install.

Install was straightforward, a little confusing until I actually read the guide. I thought I might have got a little too tall, but ended up liking the highest position, set to just about the max vertical angle.

Was previously uncomfortable at 60-65 mph, now cruising about 80 mph without even needing ear plugs. Had some very gusty days lately and it’s been great.
