The Best Just Got Better!

I got the stock 11" screen, no special cut.

I talked to Bret at Madstad about screen size and he suggested I try the 13 inch but after sitting on the bike and guessing where the screen will start, I went with the 11 inch and glad I did. I am 5'10" 30 inch inseam and ride in a slouch, not like a BMW rider that sits straight up.

All the way down, I am looking over it. If I move it up an inch I can look over it or hunker down and look through it. If I move it all the way up, I am looking through it which is what I want for heavy rain and giant bugs!

However, so far I have not had rain or bugs.

Don't know how the contoured bottom cut will look but the standard looks pretty good and it works. I would not be surprised if changing the contour on the bottom where the Madstad does its magic would change the characteristics of the airflow between the screen and faring. It may restrict some of the air flowing on the inside of the screen.

I suggest you call them to get their input. They are very helpful and I got my screen in less than a week after placing the order. Thanks to all of the input from users on this site, I am glad I got the Madstad rather than experiment with all of the variations, heights, angles, vents, etc. available for this bike.

Thanks oldxtreme. Sounds like maybe this could be a Winter project. I'm only about 5'8" so I feel confident that the 11" is what I would need. By the way, where is Chagrin Falls? I'm in Ft.Wayne,IN, we may not be too far apart.

Ft. Wayne...you up there in the hill country! Ant hills, that is! Use to live in Coldwater O. so I know "flat"...you can see the curvature of the earth if you stand on your tiptoes!

Chagrin Falls is on the east side of Cleveland, O.

What is great about Madstad is if you get the 11 inch and it is not the right fit for you, they will take it back or custom cut what you need. When I was doing my research I did see where someone requested a 9 inch because the 11 inch was right at the vision level for this rider.
