Hi all,

Does anyone have a Madstad windshield setup on their 650f? Madstad lists fitment for 1250F.

http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/sc.7/category.751/.f

It works really good on my V-strom 650.

Cheers

The screen you linked is not for the new 1250F. It's for the Bandit 1250. Not the same. There was a discussion of these over on Maximum-Suzuki recently. For our bike you'd need to get one of the Universal/DIY kits.

Have one on order hopefully it will be for a fixxer and not a bandit.maybe a ten day wait to be sent to the uk.once on will post some pictures and some sort of test.
The standard screen is pretty crap at 80mph+.

Try the MRA screens.
3 models
original, touring and spoiler

I've got the touring version and it works fine for me

I have corosponded with Mark @ MadStad about this the last few days....
He THOUGHT the shields will swap but after telling him of some of the things I have found different so far between the bikes he is doing more research.
He tells me pic's etc. will be forthcoming within the next couple of weeks.
I will pass this info along when I recieve it.

Seems that madstad are redoing the design for the gsx after a fellow fixxer owner had bought one and having to modify the mount which was in fact for a gsf.so now waiting for them to make new mounts get them powder coated and ship them,hopefully maybe 3 weeks for mine to turn up in the uk

Mulewright.madstad are doing a system for the 650f but got put on the back burner as they were doing some newer models like the tiger 800,s.as i had ordered mine via hps in the uk,and thru them emailing madstad i will be getting mine sent asap seeing how long i have been kept waiting so touch wood it should be with me soon.write up/test to follow.

I would go with Lampie. The MRA works great, The Madstad is a poor design for the GSX650F front bodywork, That was done spot on, minor tuning ie MRA , i went with two inch extension.

I notice on the freeway, guys with Supersports are always tucked, the nose and windscreen angle is very extream it is designed. to be that way.

i found by installing LSL clip ons and sargent seat, i get extra shielding from from the MRA windscreen with out tucking, if i get into heavy rain or hard gusts or headwind then i need to tuck a little, really bad more tuck yet it is a comfortable tuck.

I have an MADSTAD system installed on my GSX650F and it truly works as advertised. The base from the 1250 Bandit does not fit the GSX650F, however the universal adjustable brackets and the 18" or 20" windshield from MADSTAD can be mounted just fine on the GSX650F. Even with the 20" windshield at the lowest setting, it is QUIET and CALM behind the shield. I am 5'10" in height.

I previously had a Laminar Lip on my GSX650F, which did improve protection but was noiser than stock due to turbulence.

so far so good,esp like the fact that i can ride and not have wind blast on the body and helmet.downside is having to spend to much time making minute adjustments due to the amount of allen screw/nuts(4 per side on brackets)
