Madstad whistle fixed !!!
Well I put a call in to Madstad and was advised that sometimes the shield edge is cut sharp and the edge is not rounded enough.
Soo I pulled out a roll of electrical tape and ran across the leading edge and went for a ride. Sure enough NO WHISTLE.
I did reach up over the shield and remove the tape at about 50 mph (not advisable) but wasn't able to pull it off slowly to see when the whistle would come back. So if you have a whistle this test may be worth a try for you...
Standardized f6b Mad Stad??
I've read comments from 2013 on up for these windshields. Sounds like they finally got their product standardized for the f6b so I am still a little unclear as to what I would be getting and how tall of a shield I would need. I'm 6'3, 34 in inseam and currently have a 19 inch Slip Streamer on mine. I look over it a few inches but would prefer to have it even lower. I still get some buffeting at the top of my helmet and my passenger gets hit too. Website shows 11, 13, 15, and 17 inch. That would put me at a 17 inch, but I've read some posts in the past of people that have 13 inch and my same height that works fine. Any updates?
