    Your opinion may vary. While most people freely give their opinion on what they like, this is the reason WHY I like the Klock Werks shield. I think many will dismiss the product because of the strange looks, but it is the look that makes it so good. Research the product for the history and accomplishments and buy wisely.

    I posted last week about my windshield collection, and my last purchase was the Klock Werks. While it looks good, it doesn't even compare to the Madstad that I own. Have you tried the Madstad? Lowest noise and buffet level of "all" that I have tried. I use the 11" shield on the M/S, and plan to put it back on the bike tomorrow. All others are going up for sale.

    Being able to adjust the angle and the height to find that "sweet spot" gets good results.

    Sorry, but I just can't get past the looks of the Madstad.

    I can't imagine less buffeting and noise than my adjustable Baggershield with the 19"" clear top piece in place.
    Did you try the 11"/19" Baggershield for comparison?
    If so, is the M/S really that much better than the B/S?

    Your welcome to ride mine and compare. The B/S is a cool concept. "Sport to tour" in a sec.

    I think windshield opinions are kind of like oil opinions...If your happy with what you use, stick with it and enjoy the ride...My bike came from the dealer with the adjustable Baggershield set to the top setting, per my request, and it I see no need to change as it works fine for me. I do not experience much wind noise, if at all, no buffeting or turbulence and I will keep it on...I know many riders like the Madstad, but it is just plain "ugly" for me, and as they say..."Too each his own".. I totally agree with an earlier post that fixed fairings with windshields have it all over just a shield stuck in front...I am getting to old to ride without some form of wind protection and really enjoy what I have on my F6B...Regards and ride safe.....

    Thanks for all the opinions my question is a Madstad 11" adjusts from how low to how high? A Windbender 11" adjusts from how low to how high ? Whats the base plate height of each? Thanks

    How tall are you? At 5'9", I was hoping the short would work for me.

    I am 5'9" and the adjustable Baggershield works perfect for me..I have it set all the way up and I can't imagine any better wind protection than what I have...I know many like the Madstad, but it is to complex looking for me...For the money I truly enjoy the one I have....
