1. Factory Shield Removal
Remove the four screws that hold the
factory shield on the factory shield
mounts.
Then remove the factory shield.
Next, remove the factory shield mounts
by unscrewing the four screws that hold
them on the mount plate. Keep the
factory screws, they will be used in the
next step.
2. Bracket Installation
The pre-assembled brackets fit right into the cut-outs on
the mounting plate using the factory screws. Be sure the
adjustment knobs are facing inwards.
See pictures below.

A. Pre-install the Truss screws & washers into the windshield holes
as shown in the image below.
B. Once all four of the screws are in place, gently
guide the screws into the Well Nuts in the brackets
until all four are set.
C. Hand tighten the Truss screws until they swell up behind
the bracket and are firmly holding the windshield.
Be sure not to overtighten.
Do Not Overtighten The Truss Screws
The rubber Well Nuts cannot be pulled up out of the brackets, even if they are not tight. So tighten them only
until the Well Nuts begin to swell up and the shield is snug against the brackets.
Over-tightening can damage the rubber Well Nuts.
Pivot Screws
The MadStad mount has a pivot screw on each set of brackets, located near the middle of brackets. A nylon lock nut keeps the
screw in place, yet allows the brackets to slide back and forth. It is adjusted at the factory to have a minimum of play yet still
allow the brackets to move.
The upper pivot hole gives maximum rearward tilt, and the lower pivot hole moves the tilt range 5 degrees more forward. If for
some reason you wish to adjust the tightness of this pivot screw or move it to an alternate pivot position, use a 4mm Allen
wrench along with a 10mm socket or open-end wrench to make the adjustment. If you tighten the lock nut completely you will
not be able to slide the brackets.
Adjustment Knobs
To adjust the windshield for height and/or angle you must loosen the knobs about 1-2 turns to loosen the brackets allowing
them to slide back and forth. Gently push or pull on the shield to position it where you want it. Once you have the brackets
adjusted, you do not need to tighten the knobs down hard, just snug enough to prevent them from moving out of adjustment.

Adjustments
You will have at least 2” of vertical travel and 20 degrees of angle to work with. We suggest setting the
angle first, usually about the same angle as the forks on the bike. Loosening the knobs allows for adjustments.
Take the bike out and test. You may want to change the angle a little or change the height –this is very
much a trial and error type of experiment. Be sure to stop and pull over when making adjustments.
Different weather conditions and different speeds will help in determining what works best for you.
