    Now you guy's have my curiosity up, i'm going to go look at them.........

    I checked them out and I really like the idea of it. All of the pictures for the F6 are broken links so I couldn't really see it but i'm liking the idea of it. I know that the F6 has a huge "backdraft" with my large Clearview unless I open the vent so with this design letting good airflow under the whole width I bet it's a nicer ride.

    Most of the comments in this thread are regarding the wind management of the Madstad, your's is the first regarding the looks.
    I have the opposite feeling about the looks.
    I have the 11" dark on my F6B, and the look grows on you, and over time it adds to the "Bad Ass" look of the bike.
    I've had numerous positive comments on my Madstad.

    The Madstad did two things for my bike:
    1) solved the buffeting (I purchased 4 windshields before the Madstad)
    2) improved the overall look of the bike

    Not sure any other windshield system can make that claim???

    I think my 11" clear shield is ugly so it sounds like I need to order a dark shield.

    I agree that the looks do grow on you (it's looks made me really nervous before purchase/delivery). I now can't imagine my bike having anything else. Clean air all the way.

    I suppose there are people who choose a bike or even a windshield solely for it's looks. I'm not one. I demand function and versatility as well as good looks. The Madstad delivers and besides I kinda like the looks of it. Of course everything looks better when you have a smile on your face.
