    Well, now we know. I mounted the mini Farkle shelf to my Madstad today. Turns out it's a pretty good fit. The install is straightforward but a bit tedious depending on how many devices you want to add. In my case, I have a radar detector, a double USB weatherproof socket, a Garmin Zumo, an XM radio/antenna, and a Mobius action cam. I'll be posting pics in a day or two.

    Congrats, how did you connect the shelf to the madstadt base? Does it interfere with the adjustment of the windshield or the air flow?

    Hopefully, the soon-to-be-posted pics will answer most questions. For now though, the shelf connects to the Madstad base in the same way it connects to the Windbender base. You drill 6 holes and use stainless steel bolts. It's on there solidly. And, due to the way it is mounted, it has no effect on adjustment or air flow .

    Looks sharp....do you watch the voltmeter when turning everything on to give the alternator enough "recovery" time? Lol.

    Thanks, Kevin! The term hi-tech, red-neck comes to mind, don't you think?

    Well...now that you mention it, something seems to be draining my battery fairly rapidly when the key is switched to ACC. Wonder why that is

    When I had that problem it was because I forgot to switch off the RonCo Food Dehydrator in the left bag before making myself a Cappuccino, so maybe give that a look.
