Madstad Adjustable Windshield System for BMW F650GS / F800GS 2008 & 2023
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH F800GSA (ADVENTURE) MODEL
Transform your ride
Madstad’s patented 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.
What's included
Our complete drop-in system is custom-made for the BMW F650GS/800GS and includes everything needed to mount and position the shield. Your bike will not require any modification.
- Black aluminum base plate (replaces the stock windshield)
- A set of Madstad adjustable brackets
- Acrylic windshield
- Pair of acrylic side deflectors
- All required mounting hardware
The Madstad base plate replaces your stock shield and our adjustable brackets bolt to this new base. With the shield separated from the fairing it scoops air up underneath which is critical for eliminating vacuum and turbulence. You can then adjust the new shield for height and angle to dial in the most comfortable airflow, allowing you to ride in total comfort while looking over the top of the shield at any speed.
NOTE: This system WILL NOT WORK on the Adventure version of the GS because the extra metal bar that holds up the factory tall shield is in the way of our bracket system.
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.
Color & 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:
How to measure video: https://youtu.be/biFx4_vVGG4
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.

Customer Testimonial
"I want to tell you that I absolutely love your system. Finding the sweet spot was fairly easy and gave me all the wind protection I hoped for. Then I tried the winglets and Wow, what a great accessory! Everything even clears the huge Highway Dirt Bike handguards, which I did not think any windshield would be able to do. Wonderful! I am very pleased with both your product and customer service and I won't be afraid to tell others!"

THE MOST COMFORTABLE WIND PROTECTION A MOTORCYCLE CAN HAVE

I purchased and installed a 24” adjustable shield on my 2014 Honda CTX700N. I thought that I would need a 2nd set of hands to mount it, but it went really easy. I’m glad that I went with the 24” instead of a shorter one.

Just installed my new Madstad windshield on my 24 Speedmaster. It has been a long time since riding a bike without a fairing or something to stop the direct wind, grit and bugs from beating me up. I need to play with the adjustments still but it helped a ton. If you're figuring the height do know that the lowest setting would just be tickling the headlight and would go up around 2" from there. A picture I saw showed it off the headlight about an inch when measuring, if I had to do it again I probably would have ordered a 20". The only other thing I ran into was after I mounted the quick release brackets I noticed they were just a touch inside the triple trees which would have made the brackets rub against them and I would have had to use force to slide the shield on. Leaving the brackets securely mounted I placed a crescent wrench with a rag in the jaws, and snugged it on the bracket and rotated it outward gently. It only needed to go about a 1/16 on each side. It worked perfectly and and the shield slid on effortlessly.

Installation was easy and the windshield is a great improvement over the stock unit. Very comfortable riding without ear plugs now unless I'll be at sustained highway speeds where no windshield will help with the engine and tire noise, but it sure reduces the buffering on my helmet on the highway.

Installed on my Moto Guzzi V85tt. Easy to install and adjust. I went with 24” and will adjust up from the bottom setting probably 1”. Definitely made a difference over the stock Windshield. Only issues is I lost my factory GPS mount. It would be nice if Madstad would come up with a mount for their Windshields.

Big upgrade from stock! Thanks! Wondering if I should have some grommets/ threaded around? If they come loose? Thanks
Thank you for leaving your review, Daniel. Glad you're enjoying the upgrade!
For the windshield the side deflectors hardware, so long as the back of the rubber well nut is swollen bigger than the hole when tightening the screws, then you should not have any issues. We recommend only using a hand screwdriver for this. But if you would like spares, we have a hardware pack under Accessories ---- Replacement Parts. It has backup screws, washers and well nuts. Otherwise, please contact us at support@madstad.
Have fun out there!
