Kfad , did you get the dark opaque!
Can you post some good pics !

Found it. It's 14". Thinking of the dark smoke black. Any Klock Werks owners out there with detailed testimonials. Does it kill the wind noise in your ears? That's one of the things I hate the most. The wind noise is defening. Also, with the stock shield , my riding glasses flew off my face at 110 Kms per hour/55 mph. I'd like to eliminate that as well.

You might want to do a search. One of the guys, I think deerslayer, complained that the KW gave him an ear ache. Sometimes looks and performance are two different things.

Thanks, I have been doing a lot of searching and asking questions. I have not noticed the ear ache post but I will look out for it. Mixed reviews for sure. Some love it , some love other makes.

You know you want it,,, :stirthepot:

Another consideration you need to keep in mind is seat position. Anything + or - from stock seat hight will be reflected in windshield noise. My Mustang dropped me 1" lower and changed the wind dynamic of me and passenger. Radio was not compromised. volume goes to 30. The SENA BT intercom was a fairly good choice. ( a little tiney) I can talk on phone and passenger too. Lessons learned, expensive I might add. I wished they would have left the windshield adjustment on the F6. I have been considering building it back into the fairing. then u'd have 4" up/down.

Kfad, Thanks for the pics. Is that the dark smoke or the tint?

I noticed on The Canadianmororcycle website the tint is a few $$$ more than the dark smoke. $302 vs $ $288.
Anyone know why?

Put a 15" Madstad on mine yesterday and went for a shake-down. This is the best accessory I've ever put on a bike. Full down and full tilt back, I get a gentle breeze about eyebrow level. Tilt forward so about 3/8" slot shows behind the lockscrew and the wind is above the helmet. No buffet at either setting. Radio went from 25 to 18 at 70 mph. Much cooler than behind the tall slipstream I had before, important at 109 degrees. I look over the screen by about 4 - 5 inches at it's lowest setting. A 13" may work just as well raised a little. I'm a shade over 6' with a 32" inseam, long torso and sit tall in the saddle. I highly recomend this windshield and the folks at Madstad are great to do business with..score10/10
