"Dang, I didn't expect it to be that big" - every Madstad purchaser ever lol. Yeah, they are pretty great, I had one on a CB500X and it was a real pleasure to ride on the highway. I could never hear the engine before that, it was so quiet. I could ride with my visor up, which was pretty sweet. Definitely big though, I got the 20" version as well. The 18" would have suited me fine I'm sure.

When I saw the box I was like, surely that windshield can't be that big...nope, it was.

Great windshield thanks for the video I just received mine and looks great and works great too

Thanks for making this. I’m switching over to it from the parabellum sport/touring tall, which I have to remove every season as things warm up. Madstad costs a bit, but that adjustability feature and protection is priceless.

Regarding the turn signals hitting the tank. I just bought a set of Hippo Hands which I am looking forward to using once the snow disappears. While fitting them yesterday, I noticed that my turn signals were in the way. I had moved them up last year when I bought the Acerbis fuel tank. My solution to moving the turn signals lower was to use the reflector brackets that are on the front forks.. Switch sides with the reflector brackets (remove reflectors) and turn them upwards. Then add the turn signal light, still on the original bracket and bolt it to the top of the newly located reflector bracket. I had to drill out the reflector bolt hole by 1/8 more and it fits like a glove. The only cost was the 3/4 inch bolts I used., maybe $2.00 worth. Just an idea that may work for you too. Happy trails!

Nicely done, appreciate you sharing!

Thanks! I think i just found the ideal windshield for my dr650. I’m 6’4 so I’ll certainly order the 22 inch. Been looking for six months now and i thing this is THE ONE! 😂 Many thnaks for the video!

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Decent upgrade...I installed a cheap shield but this one is going on the to-do list.

Nice. I put the Parabellum on mine. Not adjustable like the Madstad. Also not as bulky, and much cheaper. I'm very happy with it. Breaks the wind off my chest and gives nice, smooth flow on my face as it cuts through the air (as opposed to the random helmet buffeting with no windshield).

I've got the Parabellum on my XT250, works great!

Madstad rocks! My helmet used to get buffeted so bad on my Victory Cross Country that I couldn't read the signs on the freeway. Madstad installed.....no buffeting at all. Go on all my bikes now. I set at my nose height when sitting and use their recommended tilt angle.

Awesome! Pretty stoked with mine!

Adjustability costs, but, the quality is there...bolted ones work, but not the best for all around riding. Great job....and looks fine...maybe the 18 would have been fine. Great product.

Appreciate you watching! Yeah, I think the Madstad is going to work out fine.

great gear regards john

Great video, thanks, I had a suspicion you would be wowed by the results of the Madstad. I had a shocking problem with helmet buffetting on my wee-strom which had a tall Givi touring shield when I got it. I got rid of 90% of the buffeting with a madstad bracket (for the Givi); tilting the angle towards me seemed to be the most important factor (with the screen lowered by about 1/3). The remaining 10% of the buffetting I eliminated with an X-screen which clamps on to the top of the givi screen; it's about 12 inches wide and 3 inches high and is also adjustable. Without these products I would prefer clean air, but then in my part of Oz, I don't have to deal with genuinely freezing temps. On the other hand the screen cuts down on the bug splatter, rain, and gives a reflective surfae for my "you've-left-your-turn-signal-on-AGAIN-you-idiot" LED to bounce off (and into my eyes) which has probably saved my forgetful arse a few times so I take that back, the screen probably has more fors than againsts.

Appreciate you watching! Thus far I'm impressed with the Madstad, think it will work out great! I was a little shocked at how big it was and yes, it's going to help greatly when the bugs come back!

I just ordered the 18” windscreen…. I’m 6’ so it should be exactly what I needed I had a puig screen but I didn’t like the bend at the top it messed with my line of sight and besides that I looked a other screens and the all seem narrow in the middle and flare out at the top and bottom but that’s where the wind hit me the most… so I found Madstad and I’m excited to see what this windshield can do on my bmw r1200gs…thanks for the video

im in New Mexico, looks similar. Sold me, buying me one!

thanks for the review!.....i'm in the market.....haha

Interesting windscreen, it looks very protective. I had a much larger one on a '84 Shadow 700. It moved a lot of air, but one time the mount got loose and caused an oscilation as it unevenly dumped air so I took it off. I keep wondering the same about these "rally windshields". Maybe the smaller size makes it not such an issue.

25 degrees, that is standing around the wood stove temps for me !

just get the turn signal relocating kit from ProCycle

What brand wind blockers/hand warmers you have attached to your handlebars?

Hippo Hands Rogue model

Currently debating on getting this for my DR. I'm about 5'7, and currently trying to decide if I want the 20 or 18, and if it's worth the cost compared to others

So far I'm super stoked with mine. Spendy but it's quality. Madstad does have a video on getting the right size windshield.

buy the biggest one and cut it down?

Is the madstat only available for the dr 650
