Well the Madstad came well packed with all parts included! The install was straight forward and I am very impressed with the product quality and engineering!
One nice touch; Madstad bags nuts/bolts/washers in different colored bags that match colored instructions!
I have ridden two rides on different days at speeds around 65 with highest 80 mph (speed limit 50!!) The shield has cut my wind noise by at least 50%. The adjustments make subtle differences. So far, I find that a 55 degree rake and shield up to about my nose level, has given the best results.
The barkbusters do not touch the screen at full lock. I have RoxRiser 2" mounted also. Didn't have to move brake line mount!!
One big difference is the side deflectors; they direct air down onto my boots just at the ankle. This is fine since the only engine heat I have ever experienced has been on my lower legs. I will try removing them to see what that does. The flow is not that much and may well be a blessing here in AZ next summer!
I am 5'10" and wear a Nolan 104 helmet with a N-com communicator. I hear music from the Zumo via Bluetooth better than ever now! I do use ear plugs!
If you are having trouble with finding a windshield that suits you, give Madstad a try... their return policy and customer service is first rate.
Thanks to all Madstad owners that posted up info and their experiences.. they really helped!
