Is this set up better than the Madstad?

Made a little video of the screen today in case anyone is interested.

Very informative video Taxfree4.

There is life left in our stock shields now... I always liked the look of the stock shield on our F6B's but not the lack of protection when the weather becomes inclement.

How does it do in rainy conditions? I know it's not going to act like a barn door, but can you reasonably continue a ride in rain at highway speeds, with the MRA mounted?

For sure, I hit a boat load of rain in Indiana and Iowa and kept moving without any problem. Since I use it for the 3 seasons I get hit with rain all the time. If it rains I'll strap the GoPro on and run a little video.

Good job on the video. If you're looking for rain, just ride in Pennsylvania!

That's awesome!
One question: at 6'5" and the RDL, are you looking over or through the screen?

Hehe good ?
I look way over the screen, I'd have to scrunch down if I wanted to look through it. The top of the 16" Klockwerks Flair is even with my tits and then the X-CREEN is about 4" higher, remember I lost about half of the potential height of the X-CREEN due to the recurve of the flair an the necessity of having to mount it lower than normally recommended by MRA.
The RDL on my F6B is 4" up and 3" back from stock, so I am almost a full head high over my shield and X-CREEN. I'll post a side view pic as soon as I can get someone to take it with me setting in the saddle.

Never rode a Madstad, but the MRA X-CREEN Touring shield is sure cheaper price wise than the Madstad at $260 to $280 depending on what height you get verses $133 for the bolt on mounting or $162 for the clamp on mount X-CREEN Touring shield. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/brand...e-windshields/ I only link "Twisted Throttle" as a price reference, I do not know them, have never done any biz with them nor endorse them, I did not buy there, mine was from a forum member.

The MRA X-CREEN Touring shield may be the answer for riders who don't want to change out the OEM shield and you could use the clamp on kit and not even have to drill any holes in your shield. I'm sure glad I checked them out.
I am very curious as to how well it would work on the OEM shield and my 4" higher RDL saddle. Mounting a MRA X-CREEN Touring shield on the OEM shield would allow it to be mounted at the recommended height, thus getting more coverage than I get with it on the flair shield.

is that the MRA touring or sport screen ?

As in the Title of the post "MRA Touring"

Good write up.

It's seems to work like a mini-Madstad windshield?

Takes a lot of testicular fortitude to drill a shield and mount an accessory such as this. BIGLRY paving the way for others to follow...

Just added one to the stock screen on my 2015 and am completely amazed at the difference such a small screen makes...not sure about the looks though?
