    That's why the Madstad and windbender work so well, not to mention the "engineered dual airflow".

    I have no doubt that the Madstad works awesome but, for those of us that can't get beyond the looks of it, the Windbender is a great alternative. That's why I went that direction.

    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?

    I hear ya on the looks, I am going to sell all my standard shields and get a windbender and compare it to my madstad. Whichever works the best of the two, is the one I will keep. I'm tired of changing shields. The windbender has it in the looks dept.

    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
