Madstad Quick-Release Adjustable Windshield System for Suzuki SV650 (2017 & up)
What's included
Our complete drop-in quick-release system is custom-made for the SV650 and includes everything needed to mount and position the shield. Your bike will not require any modification. Here are the system components:
- Fork-mount quick release brackets
- Adjustable shield brackets
- Acrylic windshield
- Solid aluminum 7/8" crossbar
- All required mounting hardware
The quick-release base brackets mount to your forks. The adjustable shield brackets lock onto the base and with the shield system attached you can adjust it for the optimum height, angle and airflow to dial in the comfort for your particular height and riding position. We included a long 7/8" crossbar both for stability and so you can mount your smartphone or GPS unit up higher front-and-center where you can more easily see it.
If you want to go back to stock the original bike configuration simply release the locking plungers and slide the system off. Keep in mind that the crossbar, and anything you may have mounted to it, will also come off with the system.
Madstad windshields are made from 3/16" (4.5 mm) thick cast acrylic.
Colors & sizing How to measure video: https://youtu.be/biFx4_vVGG4
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.
Transform your ride
Get that pressure off of your face and chest! Madstad’s quick-release mounting system gives you touring comfort on your original bike. Adjust the height and angle of our windshield to dial in smooth airflow and a more comfortable ride while still looking over the shield. You can switch back to original bike in seconds, without tools, however you will be so much more comfortable you may not want to!

Super easy to install and works fantastic! As a side note, I ordered my windshield too tall. I installed the windshield, and used some painter's tape to establish the correct height. I placed some poster board behind the windshield and traced the contours of the edge on the poster board. I covered the top several inches of the windshield with the painter's tape and used the poster board pattern to mark on the tape where I needed to cut it down. I then cut the windshield down using a Dremel with a 1 1/2" cut off wheel for plastic, sanded the cuts, and used a small torch to heat the edges. Ended up perfect. I took off about 2 1/4" - so the point is be careful to measure what size windshield you need to avoid the extra work above, but you can modify it if you have too.

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.
