I hear the Madstad function is great. I just don't think I could live the look. Hats off to those that do.

Have to say the 15" for me is sweet. The look really grew on me. Real happy with my decision.

Are ya gonna ride that bike or just stand there and look at it?

Nah,, seriously, no one here ever bought a Madstad for it's looks, but most everyone who did buy one has indicated the appearance 'grew on them'.

When the 6 first came out, I thought it was thugly as hell,,,, Now look at me!!!

Initially, I looked at this the same way as you. The thing that changed my mind was realizing I could get a clear top to mount to the black base. Since you mainly notice the black base, the original low wind screen "bagger" look is retained but the less-noticeable clear top yields the great function. This made the Madstad a winner for me .

I also felt like HB,,, make that top shield go away,,,

I have a 15 Lt gray and Wife has 13 medium.

I went w Lt gray thinking it would be less visible (like clear) but also reduce glare a little compared to clear. Well, IMHO, it does reduce the glare a little, but,,, that light gray shield, in the sun,, is,,, light gray! Not light smoke, not 'solar' (like some Mem Shades, which really disappears well w/o glare) Yep, in the sun, the light gray can look,,,, light gray! LOL!!!

Wife has a black 6 and the med gray shield,,,,, If I had to do it all over again,,, I'd probably opt for med gray, but,,, that's just me,,,

From mama Honda? Nope.

From Honda of Russellville? (Also a Board Sponsor) Any color you want!

Didn't see the color ya want? All they need is a PPG paint code or OEM Honda color name and about 10 days,,,

One thing for sure, a helmet upgrade is not going to cure the issues that are caused by that windshield. Ordered a Cee Baileys 11 inch smoke last week. I think that will be tall enough to solve my issues.
