I have this one. It's attached to my Blue Ridge windshield. I'm 6'1" and it helps, but it's still not tall enough for me. If you are under 6' then it'll work well.

. . . . It has been discussed here a lot and I have not seen a posting by anybody who has bought one that doesn't like it - the Masdstad shield.
I have had mine for a while now and I still think it is great.

NOPE...... thx, but sorry, that's not the one i'm looking for Tom....Quote:

Well here you go the first negative of Madstad. Disclaimer I didn't buy one but rode on a F3 with a Madstad. I personally wouldn't waste my money and the person who's F3 the shield was on has returned it. It didn't work fore but not one size fits all. Just my humble opinion which to some or most means nothing. Just sayinQuote:

Surprising based on my experience, but it is nothing new for me to read something on this forum that leaves me scratching my head. Sorry it didn't work for you. Totally worth it for me.Quote:

Is an X-screen, I I got mine from Twisted Throttle website. It helps a lot, but not the complete answer. Again, helped a lot. It was about $115. Well worth it, but Madstad is perfect!, for me, anyway, I'll sell my clamp-on X-creen for $79 if you want it.Quote:

Here's a picture.
You have to play with the orientation. I had it all the way up and it caused weird buffeting on my helmet. I moved it down a little and out and it helped reduce it. It's real easy to put together and adjust.

I agree. I took my madstad out for a 100 mile spin this morning at average speed of 75MPH and felt like I had the same protection as I do on my RTL. I also like the looks of the shield on a black/chrome F3Quote:
