This MadStad system attaches above your handlebar clamps using aluminum
spacers and longer bolts. Your handlebars do not need to come loose as you can
install these brackets one side at a time.
Bracket Installation:
STEP 1 - Pry off all four plastic bolt caps that are on your handlebar bolts. You
will not need these, but save them.
STEP 2 –Using an 6mm Allen wrench, remove the two handlebar clamp bolts
ON ONE SIDE ONLY and DO NOT remove the top clamps, only the bolts. (If
you remove all four handlebar clamp bolts or your bars will come loose!)

STEP 3 –Set two of the M8 bolts with flat washers through one of the two
MadStad brackets. On the other side put another flat washer and then a spacer on
each bolt. This setup will go in through the handlebar clamp and bolt down. The
complete picture of how the bolts, washers, spacers and clamp go together is
shown below:
STEP 4 –Take this the bracket-and-hardware assembly and bolt it down.
NOTE: Tighten the front bolt completely first, then tighten the back bolt to
factory specifications. Do not move on to the second handlebar clamp until the
first one is bolted down, otherwise the bar will come loose and will rotate out of
place.

STEP 5 –Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for the other half of the brackets. Use the same
hardware configuration for this as you did on the other side of the crossbar. Once
the crossbar is installed, then finish tightening down the bar clamp bolts same as
you did in Step 4.
STEP 6 - Windshield Installation
Once bracket attachment is complete, the windshield attaches to the brackets
with Phillips truss screws, plastic flat washers and rubber washers. Insert all four
screws and washers into the four windshield holes (as shown the diagram at
right) before attaching the windshield onto the MadStad brackets. The rubber
well nuts are flexible and the shield holes are oversized so you can nudge the
shield and screws around to get them into the well nuts. Once that’s done go
ahead and screw the four screws down until they are snug, which means the
screw tip has gone past the back of the well nut, the well nuts have swelled up a
bit and the shield is resting snugly against the brackets. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN! Over-tightening can damage the rubber well nuts.

Adjusting the MadStad Knob Brackets
The knob screws release the brackets allowing the windshield to slide and tilt.
These knob screws must always be tightened securely before riding. DO NOT
attempt to adjust the brackets while riding! You must come to a complete stop
before making adjustments. Also make sure that you do not set the windshield
in such a way that causes your handlebars or hand guards (if installed) to hit the
windshield when turning, or before reaching full lock.
To make adjustments, loosen the knobs 1-2 turns and set the windshield so the
top edge is at about your chin level as you look straight ahead while seated on
the bike. Set the angle at approximately 60 degrees (roughly the same angle as
your forks). You can also use the angle diagram on the back page of this
manual as a guide. Tighten the knobs and go for a ride to see if you now have
smooth airflow over and around your helmet. Do this on a calm day if at all
possible; windy days make it hard to judge the airflow. Don’t ever try to adjust
the brackets while in motion!
To try a different windshield position, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop
and out of traffic. Loosen the two knob screws and tilt the windshield forward
or back 2-3 degrees or so, and/or adjust it up or down if necessary. Re-tighten
the knobs and go for another ride.
Continue experimenting with different positions at different speeds until you
find a combination of height and rake angle that eliminates buffeting and gives
a smoother ride. You may have more than one favorite position, for example
shield tilted forward on cooler days, and shield tilted back for hot days to let
more air to your body.

PIVOT SCREWS
The MadStad mount has a pivot screw on each set of brackets, located near
the center of the bottom bracket. A nylon lock nut keeps the screw snugly 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.
If for some reason you wish to adjust the tightness of this pivot screw, use a
4mm Allen wrench along with a 10mm socket or crescent wrench to make the
adjustment. If you tighten the lock nut completely you will not be able to slide
the brackets.
Notes on Windshield Angle
Most windshields work best when set at a 55-60 degree angle. We have
provided an angle guide on the back page of this manual so that you can
check and see if your shield is set somewhere in this range.
To check your shield angle, your bike should be in an upright position either
on a center stand or held up by a helper. Set the spine (folded edge) of the
manual against the front of the shield. If the large arrow marked 60° is
pointing straight up, then your shield is at a 60 degree angle. (See diagram on
Page 5.) A little farther back and your angle would somewhere between 55
and 60 degrees. Anywhere in this range is fine for your initial test ride. On
some bikes a more vertical angle works better, so don’t be afraid to
experiment later if tilting the shield back doesn’t seem to be ideal.

It is the responsibility of the user to make sure all fasteners are
tightened securely, the windshield is mounted properly and the
adjustment knobs are tightened snugly before putting the motorcycle in
motion. MadStad systems ARE NOT intended to be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion; you must pull over out of the way of traffic and
come to a complete stop before making any changes. The user must
never place the windshield in such a position as to interfere with the
safe and complete movement of the handlebars and controls.
Returns and Warranty
If you are not satisfied with your new windshield system you have 30
days to return it. Full details are available on our web site at
www.madstad.com. If purchased from a dealer then please contact the
