The thing is so adjustable that I'm not sure that inseam and height matter to others anymore except at the extremes. You have two OEM positions, and then another almost 4 inches of height adjustment, and then if that isn't enough, Madstad will swap the standard 20" screen for a 22", or even cut another size from scratch. You can also drill new holes on the mounting bracket for even more adjustment. This is really one size fits all, unlike any other brand on the market. Even though it is expensive, I thought it was an even bigger gamble that another brand, or two, or three would end up being perfect for me - and three would end up costing more.
The other cool thing is that it is not just height that is adjustable, but also angle. I think it is likely that I will be able to get a steeper slope with this screen than any other one, potentially giving up less mpg, and possibly even gaining.
I agree, I'm thinking height and inseam are not really issues with this system, but for the record I'm 6' even with a 32" inseam. I currently have it at it's lowest setting and about 30 degrees from vertical. To lower it any more I would need to slope it further toward the back and I have plenty of room for that if necessary. I'm still with it's default setting right now and it's great. Noticed a little more turbulence today due to crosswinds, but it is still so much better than before. I keep finding myself going faster than I thought because it's so calm in the cockpit. Got up to 72 in a 60 this morning before I noticed and shut it down.
I'd be willing to let a couple of local guys take it for a quick spin to get some more experienced rider's opinions. Just PM me and we can probably work something out. Maybe a good chance for a local NC700X owner to check out the DCT and ABS. Just a thought....
Also agree with you regarding the cost. It was $288.02 with shipping included and a full money back guarantee. I kept seeing where people had tried screen after screen without finding what they wanted. I really didn't want to play that game. Anyway, I have a long ride scheduled for Saturday so I'll report back after that.
