Madstad Brackets & Shield on a F3

[petegtsv10]

Should I assume that my 5'0" wife needs the 18" model?? (yes, I'm ready for the jokes......)

At 5ft yes, you might be able to use the ones from BRP (Blue Ridge), but if you were to order the Madstad the 18" for sure. I just had my wife on mine to try to answer your question. She is 5'2" and with the 20" screen her eye line is about 3" below the top of the rim. So 18" would be perfect for her.

My advice is . . . .

. . . . Go with the 18".

I am 5'7" and I am looking right at the top of the 20" shield - it is right at eye level. And it is at the lowest setting.

With the 18", I would guess she would almost always ride a with the shield at it's lowest setting too.

Stuff that works is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
these work on my Roadrod. I want them to make one for my next bike, too!

Been calling for three days now trying to order one. Hopefully they call me.

Madstad is suggesting a 14" for my wife.

 

[godfatheroftek]

Finally got a human on the phone. Bought one today. They recommended a 20" for me.

Based on the pictures doesn't look at all bad to me (and the need for protection is great.. I did a 1047 mile ride in two days on my F3S last week and I was really beat up with only the Blue Ridge) . I only live 30 minutes from them so adding this to my stops soon..

Springfield Mo. to Green Valley AZ no shield. 1234 mi. wasn't bad till we hit the wind! Probably won't get a shield till winter oh wait we don't have winter! I'll probably do the Madstad because we have a lot of wind around here!

I neglected to mention that my 1047 miles was in high wind and oftentimes heavy rain

 

[ABQSpyder]

Lucky we had no rain. Just those 35-45mph gust of winds. Going around White Sands Middle range thought I was going to be knocked over.

Ride safe

keep calling

Been calling for three days now trying to order one. Hopefully they call me.

I called about 5 times before I was able to get through to them. And a couple of emails. They are busy but it is worth being persistent with them

 

[godfatheroftek]

Ordered by noon today. They said I would get the invoice right away via email. Nothing yet. Makes me nervous that the order "took"

 

[godfatheroftek]

Got the shipping info today. Should arrive Monday

 

[GunDoctor]

Glad so many give this a thumbs up. I love my blue ridge without all the mounting brackets in the middle and the gap at the bottom as this one seems to have. Nothing is for everyone so I'm glad their are options to choose.

[godfatheroftek]

Have the BR one, but the buffeting kills me. Hope this solves that.

 

[sidecarrick]

I ordered mine on the 22nd, hope to have it this week. The wind noise is killing my ears with an open face helmet.

 

[godfatheroftek]

Exactly, sidecarrick, mine is down the road at UPS, arriving Monday.
