2. Attaching The Brackets
The MadStad brackets attach to the same four
mounting points as the factory cage, just with
different hardware. The knobs will face inward,
and the rubber well nuts face forward as seen in
the photo at right. Take an M6 x 35 screw with
flat washer on it and insert it into the front
mounting point from the outside to the inside,
and on the inside slide the long plastic spacer
over the screw. Then take another M6 x 35 screw
with flat washer on it and insert it into the rear
mounting hole from the outside to the inside,
and on the inside slide the two short plastic
spacers over the screw. The bracket then goes
onto the screws (photo below) and fastens with a
flat washer then nylock nut as seen in the bottom
photo. Just finger-tighten these nuts for now,
and repeat on the other side.
You may have noticed that the brackets have slots in
them rather than mounting holes. This allows a little
forward-backward adjustment for the entire system.
Both brackets need to be locked down in the same
position otherwise your windshield will be tilted.
When first installing we recommend that you slide both
brackets fully forward (toward the headlight) and tighten
them down there. This will avoid any contact between
the bottom of the shield and the headlight housing. Use
an M4 Allen wrench with a 10mm open end wrench to
tighten. Later on, after you have driven with the system
for a few days, if you feel you want to slide the system
back toward the rider then loosen these four mounting
screws, slide the brackets back on each side and re-
tighten. Just make sure there is no interference of the
bottom of the shield with any parts of the bike
framework or headlight.
