Madstad base mounting issues/question

[willtill]

I posted this very question a long time ago and your getting the same answers I got. I will tell you that it does lay better after some time as mine has almost flattened out completely, but from the start it fits like sh**.

Mine fit like a glove. No gaps, easy mounting and fitment.
The 11" looks more like a tactical shield than a windscreen.

I took a very short spin tonight. Definitely a difference (less buffeting). Was no faster than 45mph though.... I look forward to playing with this thing.

May have two windshields for a steal in the classifieds here.... we will see.

Keep a journal as you make adjustments or you will at some point wind up chasing your tail. Just stuff like 61°, 1" up. So that when you are tinkering and decide the 5th thing you tried was the best you can get it back. Because trust me with this shield a couple of degrees make a big difference.

Will do.

Do you have a gap in the outer areas where the lower base meets the dash?

Yep, similar to yours.

Yes, I saw that from the link that Wing'n it provided earlier in this thread.

I am going to go to Home Despot and procure some thicker weatherstripping, and R&R the current weatherstripping that I applied previously from the Clearview windshield installation... I still need to reroute my power cord for my GPS anyway up under the Madstad windshield base. Look forward to having my GPS mounted directly in from of me now between the dash and the lower Madstad base

Mine is the same. Be careful not to over tighten the base or it will crack Just add some lock tite

I would have a problem with that fit...glad I don't have that shield and that problem. I'm just too OCD to let that go.

Some things not right... double check the placement of the cowling where the bolts are inside the mirror housing...weather stripping can help and the shield should have come with some...
