    Anyone know why Madstad quit selling the brackets that have many more adjustments than the ones being furnished now? Those of us that bought early have a lot more adjustment options than the newer ones.

    Don't know, but assume most folks didn't use all the holes, plus, some of those holes simply wouldn't work on our bikes, and,,,,, less punching/reduced cost to manufacture,,,

    Ancient Chinese secret.

    Maybe had something to do with the whistling some people were reporting.

    I can report that I hear whistling when riding down the street on my Madstad equipped F6B. It comes from people who see the bike for the first time.

    One last Question (well maybe)

    I'm just throwing it out there seeing that the folks at Madstad must be busy and haven't got back to me yet for my order.
    On every one of my other Motorcycles I have put in a Windshield Vent to get some extra air on hot days. Has anyone tried a vent or does that not work due to their design.
    I already have the Baker Wings under the mirrors and think that may be enough...

    Won't work right with the Madstad. With the Baker wings, you will get plenty of air. My 1k mile days to and from Franklin were high 90 temps, and I was fine with the added air from the Bakers.

    Also, call Madstad instead of ordering online.
