Quick-Release Adjustable Windshield System

Harley-Davidson Street 500 / 750

STEP 1: Remove the headlight cowl.

Two screws just inside the rear of the cowl hold it in place at the top. Remove

these two screws. The bottom of the cowl has two posts which are pushed into

rubber sockets. Simply pull the bottom of the cowl out with one hand on each

side, just give a firm pull.

STEP 2: Attach the MadStad base brackets.

Remove the top fork clamp bolt and attach our bracket using the M10 bolt and

aluminum spacer as shown on clutch side below. Repeat on other side.

STEP 3: Re-install cowl.

Pre-install the M6 x 16 screws with flat

washers through the front hole of our

bracket and the factory bracket. It is

easier to do this now rather than after

you’ve snapped the cowl back on.

Once both screws are set as shown above, snap the cowl back on at the bottom

and use the long-arm hex key wrench provided to fasten the inner screws back

into the cowl to secure it.

STEP 4: Adjustable Bracket Installation

Each of the two tall adjustable brackets snaps into the aluminum spools on the

base brackets as shown below. Once the complete system is assembled you will

be able to remove the shield and brackets together as one unit.

First, use the zip tie provided to gently gather and pull back the brake line and

cables on the throttle side as shown below. You don’t have to pull them in hard,

just pull them out of the way of the base bracket.

Set the front notch of the

adjustable bracket into

the front spool of our

base brackets as shown

here.

With the front notch slid

all the way into the front

spool, you will be able to

push the rear notch down

onto the rear spool. Make

sure the pivoting locking

tab is out of the way as

shown here.

Lift up on the bottom of the

locking tab and rotate it

onto the rear spool. If it

doesn’t want to lift, push in

a bit on the inside of the

spring-loaded screw. Make

sure the locking tab is fully

seated over the spool.

Repeat this on the other

side.

STEP 5: Crossbar Installation

The crossbar goes in-between the two brackets to connect them together and

make a rigid assembly. See photos on the next page on how to attach it, and be

aware of the pin location as shown in the second photo. You will be able to use

this crossbar as a grab handle to remove the brackets and shield together. You

can also use this 7/8” diameter crossbar to attach accessories like a handlebar

mount GPS bracket.

STEP 3: Windshield Installation

Once the brackets are installed, the windshield attaches to the front of the

brackets with Phillips screws and washers as shown below. Insert all four screws

and washers into the four windshield holes as shown before attempting to attach

the windshield onto the RoboBrackets. The rubber washers on the bottom will

hold the screws in place.

The screws go into the rubber well nuts which are flexible, and shield holes are

oversized so you can nudge the shield around to align the T-screws with the

holes if necessary. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver until the tips of the

screws come out of the bottom of the well nuts, and the well nuts begin to swell

up (bulge) behind the brackets.

Adjusting the MadStad Brackets

The knob screws release the brackets allowing the windshield to slide and tilt.

These knob screws must always be tightened securely before riding. DO NOT

attempt to adjust the brackets while riding! You must come to a complete stop

before making adjustments. Also make sure that you do not set the windshield

in such a way that causes your handlebars or hand guards (if installed) to hit the

windshield when turning, or before reaching full lock.

To make adjustments, loosen the knobs 1-2 turns and set the windshield so the

top edge is at about your chin level as you look straight ahead while seated on

the bike. Set the angle at approximately 60 degrees. (Use the angle guide on the

back page of this manual as a guide.) Tighten the knobs and go for a ride to see

if you now have smooth airflow over and around your helmet. Do this on a

calm day if at all possible; windy days make it hard to judge the airflow. Don’t

ever try to adjust the mount while in motion!

Most windshields work best when set at a 55-60 degree angle. You may find

better results angling the shield parallel to the base shield which is at 50

degrees. We have provided an angle guide on the back page of this manual

so that you can check and see if your shield is set somewhere in this range.

To check your shield angle, your bike should be in an upright position. Set the

spine (edge of the last page) of the manual against the front of the shield. If

the large arrow marked 60° is pointing straight up, then your shield is at a 60

degree angle. This is a good starting point for the first test ride.
