    Default New Madstad Shield for my Trike

    As some of you may, or may not, know; I also have a '15 Honda F6B 2-wheeler that we use for local rides etc. I bought it after the wife made me give up riding my Yamaha crotch rocket....said I was too old and fat to be laid down on a tank, doing wheelies, etc. and was probably gonna end up hurting myself on it. 67 years old and too old? Too fat???????? She's crazy.

    Anyway, the F6 came with an 11" dark gray Madstad shield when I purchased it. I thought it looked kinda "ugly" and had every intention of replacing it first thing. However, after riding that bike for a while, both the wife and I were totally impressed at just how well that "ugly duckling" actually worked. It didn't take long and it wasn't going anywhere regardless of how "ugly" it appeared to be....lol. Plus, I really liked being able to look over the top of the shield rather than thru it, yet not having any wind buffeting while doing so. My wife also liked the way it worked from a passenger perspective.

    Back to the trike: well, we've had several shields on the GW/trike over the years. The longest contender to date has been an F4+2 clear that has seen many a mile, and other than having to look thru it, it has served me well with no complaints on my end. My wife, on the other hand, hasn't been quite as pleased. Regardless of how high/low I place it, she just doesn't like it. Liking the the way the Madstad worked on the F6, she suggested removing it from the F6 and putting it on the trike....LOL. No way. I wasn't about to pull it off the F6 and put it on the trike...different setup anyway. However, I did purchase a new 12" dark gray one built for the trike and it finally came in late this afternoon. I plan on installing it tomorrow and giving it a good workout. It will also be interesting to see how it looks and performs on the trike since it's an ever so slightly different design/setup than on the F6. Hopefully, we can find a nice "sweet spot" where both of us are good with it. We shall see.

    I put a Madstad on my Tiger 1050 years ago and it totally eliminated the buffeting. They are great windscreens and well engineered.

    My buddy calls his road glide "the ugly duckling" ... he says when he gets off the bike ... he never turns around, can't stand to look at it when it's sitting still. LOL ... might be an option if the new shield adds a layer of ugly ... function is way more important anyway. Not to mention ... keeping the wife happy.

    Got it installed, and I think that 12" actually looks pretty good on the GW. IMHO, the 12" looks better on the trike than the 11" does on the F6. As soon as the weather breaks (been cold & rainy here), we'll get it out on the road for a test run/adjustment....maybe even post a pic or two.

    " No way. I wasn't about to pull it off the F6 and put it on the trike...different setup anyway. "

    What's different? Thought shields for the Wing and the FB6 were the same

    The main difference is in the minimum size and shape of the windshield: an 1800 GW has a min. shield size of 12" along with the overall shape thats's slightly different than the F6's. The F6 has a min. shield size of 11" and, as mentioned, has slightly different shape to it. The bottom base and the brackets all appear to be identical though. The first nice day we get around here, I'll roll em outside and see if I can get a decent pic of em sitting side-by-side and post it here.

    Nice day today so we rode the trike to checkout the new Madstadt. Had to stop twice to make slight hight adjustments, but I think we got it dialed in pretty good for now. Wife says it's A-OK and that's the main thing...LOL. Here's a couple of pics of the bikes. You can see the slight difference in the size/shape of the windshield. It's not much, but they are different. Both shields work fantastic.

    Nice pics, thanks for sharing. I got my Madstad just a tad wider at the bottom, cuts the wind a bit. Would I buy a Madstad again, yep, for sure.
