Got My Madstad in last Wednesday, but was busy with work. Got it on last night and rode today. Did 4 rides actually on same test route and tweaked the shield each time--super easy with robo knobs.
I'm 5'9" with a 30" inseam. I run the stock seat. I got the 11" shield in Dark Grey. I ordered with special instructions for "rounded bottom" and "Please check brackets against holes in base and shield". I was okay with Madstad branding and am proud to advertise with their subtle laser cut logo. Both pieces were perfect and install was easy per their instructions and a Youtube Vid.
I have it slightly higher than full down and angled slightly back from full forward. Instructions say top of shield at chin level, but it's slightly higher. I look over the top of the shield for normal riding and through it for parking lot maneuvers.
I got dark grey after talking to Sean and learning the base plate is EXTRA dark grey. The base plate actually solid black and not see-through. It's slightly taller than the stock shield or seems so.
It does make the radio louder and clearer, and lets me ride with my helmet visor up. 80 mph and just nice random soft breezes pelting my face and neck. Steady stream of air just over my helmet. My Scorpion EXO vents are quiet now and I can ride with my visor up. Usually I'd have bugs on my helmet this time of day on this route. Helmet is clean.
Mark Stadnyk is a genius.
