Which Wind Screen to Buy

[keller123]

I did about 120 miles yesterday with speeds from 75 to 80.I have it at the lowest setting and at 60 degrees and I experience no back draft and very little wind noise and very little if any head buffeting.I like looking over the top so I never tried a setting to look through it.I also have the Baker handwings which may help some with a back draft.The Bakers made a big difference when I had the 19" Baggershield so I can only assume they help with the Madstad.Plus not having a vent on the Madstad I feel the bakers will be nice in the warmer weather as they can be rotated to direct air at me.

So did some hand wing shopping and it can never be easy! Now they have first and second generations. Which ones do you think you have? second gen look smaller. God I am bugging the s...out of you...sorry.

LOL, they had some on ebay for 42 bucks so i went for it. description said the smoke, darkest, but the pic looked like light tint, they will either match the bottom of shield or top!

I have had mine on for three years and really don't know what generation they are.They are as dark as the lower Madstad part of the windscreen.No bother on Questions here that is what this site is all about.I think you will find they help a lot and add to the Badass Madstad look

+1 - Same with my assorted helmets.
19" Baggershield-
3/4 - Unnoticeable to very little turbulence
1/2 - Noticeable
Full Face Arai - Very noticeable, tolerable

No turbulence - buffetting from any helmet with the 22" Baggershield quick extension up.

Sorry,
It seems I embellished the size of my...wind shield a bit, in my previous post.
I have the 11'' - 19" Baggershield.

Happy Holiday

Yep, if that is the one with the smoke bottom, that is the one that i have been trying to find a replacement for. How tall are you? I can see that being a fine screen, one up, for 5 8" and below. At 6 feet in my normal, kind of slumped position, top third of my helmet getting hit with wind, passsenger miserable. Pretty annoying at about any speed but at 80mph on the wrong day, wrong meaning any wind, any semis 1/4 mile and closer ahead of me, summer days with heat turb up from the ground. MADstad, 95% of it all gone with 15 inch, top setting, 57 degrees. I love being able to do 80 now in modular helmet mode!! 19 inch bagger, in modular mode, literally dangerous at that speed. And my helmet made this God awful sound, thought it was broke, turned out, just toooooo much wind. This shield has made my cheap HAwk a totally awesome helmet!! I will never have anything else on my wings again. SOLD!! wow and talk about less back draft. Sometimes i like kicking my feet back on passenger pegs and leaning completely forward behind screen and go into sport mode i call it...yeah, kind of funny when i pass someone doing `110 as i am sure they are giggling when they see my position, but i like to adjust back position on long trips...bagger shield, back draft litterally pushed my whole body down, to the point of being a little unsafe position...madstad...ZERO DOWN PRESSURE,,,COMPLETELY SAFE AND COMFY. Try a madstad you will be sold!! again, if you only ride one up at 5 8;" under, you are prob good to go!

Great! Glad to hear you found a sweet spot with your helmet & MS shield.

I'm 6.1, ride two up about half the time. Bagger works for us.

I just cannot get beyond the mechanical look of the MS.
No jab intended. To each their own.

No jab taken Jim, I felt the same way when I first saw one on line. and actually I feel you are about dead on on your helmet assesment, half, three quarters, etc. It was the full face that became intolerable for me, especially when i went modular......It was so much wind in modular it was rattling my smoke visor around or something and was even adding to the wind noise. I could not go above 40 modular. The bottom line, we both ride the baddest ride on the road!!

Well just had to chime in one more time about how much I have grown to love my Madstad.Went for a 200 mile ride yesterday in temps from 35-58 degrees as temps here have been very moderate for this time of the year.I had been riding it at the lowest setting with the 15" screen but I raised it up about a inch and a half to where I just see over the top of the screen.Well that last little bit of head buffeting is nearly gone with no noise in the 3/4 helmet.It is so quiet all I hear is gear whine and a little tire growl when cornering.Plus I found myself wanting to ride at 80+ all the time which in time could cost me so I kept a eye on the speedo more often.By far the best windscreen I have ever rode behind-OK I will get off my soapbox now and wish all you winter riders a safe time out there and a Happy New Year

Yes glad you talked me into mine too! I rode for 3 hours the other day at right at 42 degrees, loving the 90% less helmet wind noise! I went ahead and went with the Baker built knock-offs from China though, could not see putting out 80 bucks for the dark smoke that matches the bottom of the windscreen! China brand was 30 bucks including shipping, but I have to wait until possibly January 25th to get them, half my winner here will be over! I am sure from my memory on my GL 1800 and from what you reminded me, of that hand and arm body wind getting probably 80% removed. And I can open them up during the summer to really direct that air in on me, due to this windscreen taking out 90% of wind! Keep the shiny side up, another mad stad fan
