here's my write up that I posted on another forum
Preface: I have no affiliation with madstad engineering, just a happy customer.
Alright, so I wanted a better windscreen for my bike, something adjustable for touring. i wanted it to be stable at up to the max speed of my bike (140) and comfortable even around town. Well through the f800 forum I found this system. One of the riders on the forum sent madstad engineering an f800 windscreen and they used it to create the baseplate for the robobrackets.
Anyways, the system uses "robobrackets", which are some pretty ingenious lil mounts. They mount to an original windscreen or a baseplate, and then a new windscreen on top. They offer almost infinite adjustability in every axis.
This is the baseplate and robo brackets. The baseplate mounts with no modification at all to the bike, just replaces the stock windscreen. As you can see the robobrackets are quite adjustable. The baseplate is flawless, great finish, nice metal.
from there the new provided windscreen mounts with the provided spacers and T-nuts. Once you get the screen in the desired position you tighten down the robobracket sliders. I found, due to the fact that I put the screen in the lowest possible position, that I had to remove the screen from the brackets to tighten down the adjusters. Wasn't a problem, overall very easy.

final placement
Now, this is the 20 inch screen. He is sending me the 18 and I will then return the 20. While I like the 20's position it is at the bottom of the adjustable range and with the 18 i'll have a lot more options on angle, position, etc.
The top of the screen is right about at the very bottom of my visor sitting straight up. The Airflow really is top notch. No buffeting at all on the chest or neck. The air bubble puts it right to the top of my helmet. Pretty quiet, and this is sitting as straight up as I can. If I even bend down a little I'm in an almost perfect bubble. I tested it up to 100mph and it stayed put and did extremely well. When I get the 18" I'll have a lot more adjustability.
the system is currently made for the
price varies on if you use a base-plate or your existing screen to mount the brackets on. I paid just over $300 for the whole system. Not cheap, but definitely worth it.
Again, no affiliation, just a cool product from a small AMERICAN business.
and yes, I'm missing a turnsignal, I'm in the middle of putting my GSXR mirrors back on with integrated turnsignals.
