I'm not interested in the windshield or Rosie's raisin
Maybe I'm just being snobbish because I got one of those new fangled ventilator hair dryer fairings for free with my new bike.

Went out today with the Arai on (Signet-Q for those keeping score at home), and I'm sold on the Madstad.
I started out with it where it was with the half helmet - halfway up and all the way forward. Did a few miles, got 'er up to about 70, and felt a little bit of helmet toss. Not terrible, not drumming my head, but some back-and-forth motion. Raised it up 3/4 of the way.....Better, and just below my line of sight (probably right where the Windvest sits). Then I jacked the thing all the way up and hit the slab. With the backrest on, I could keep my back straight enough to keep the top edge of the windshield from driving me nuts, and the wind control was as good as I've felt on any Batwing bike up to about 85mph. I'm chalking this up as a "win": this thing's a keeper. Moving my hands around it was clear that the bulk of the wind I could hear was coming from under the fairing and around the tank. With the air flowing under the Madstad, it calmed the other air well enough to make a marked improvement over the Windvest. But wait, there's more..... I got off the highway and headed to one of my favorite backroads. I pulled over, and just for the helluvit, I dropped the shield all the way down and leaned it all the way back so I'd have as much of an unobstructed view of the road in front of me as possible. No surprise, there was more wind noise, but not a hint of buffeting as long as I stayed below 60. Holy crow! The vents in the helmet were gulping up air, I had a great view of the road, and there was no buffeting worth speaking of. Above 60 got ugly, with the helmet shaking badly and a drumming resonating through it. So I pulled over and raised the shield all the way up and kept it leaned back. Still louder than upright, and no buffeting until around 70 (same type as before). So basically what you've got with this is an infinite number of shields in one. Raise it up and tilt it forward for a touring shield, drop it down and lean it back when you're turning & burning. I'm incredibly pleased with it, even though it doesn't make the radical change that it does on a Road Glide. Two big thumbs up.

So is it grey poopon madstad or just brown spicy madstad?
 Remember the wind forces behind a windshield faring combination are excessively brutal ...

So, Ive been following these hideous looking things since they went somewhat mainstream because the engineering makes sense......
So besides all the hype on the Shark site, and the bit here, are you truly "holy crap this is the best thing since sliced bread" Russ/Dave?? I like the 14" WV and my Cee Bailey's is almost as good but with some style or bite the bullet and do this and be in awe of perfect air with crystal clear tunes..........  Dirk

But really, nothing on a batwing is as radically good as on a Road Glide. Admit it, you already knew this on some level...

Madstad on a Batwing
Quick, Russ, let Pepi whitewash the fence...
It's probably your only way out. Sent from my li'l ol' iPhone 4S augmented w/ a mophie juice pack plus® using Tapatalk. Probably from the crapper.
