PIVOT SCREWS
The MadStad mount has a pivot screw on each set of brackets, located near
the center of the bottom bracket. A nylon lock nut keeps the screw snugly in
place, yet allows the brackets to slide back and forth. It is adjusted at the
factory to have a minimum of play yet still allow the brackets to move.
If for some reason you wish to adjust the tightness of this pivot screw, use a
4mm Allen wrench along with a 10mm socket or crescent wrench to make the
adjustment. If you tighten the lock nut completely you will not be able to slide
the brackets.
Notes on Windshield Angle
Most windshields work best when set at a 55-60 degree angle. 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 either
on a center stand or held up by a helper. Set the spine (folded edge) 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. (See diagram on
Page 5.) A little farther back and your angle would somewhere between 55
and 60 degrees. Anywhere in this range is fine for your initial test ride. On
some bikes a more vertical angle works better, so don’t be afraid to
experiment later if tilting the shield back doesn’t seem to be ideal.
