MadStad, headlight bezel, and halos.........2 of the 3 just aren't my thing, look cheezy as hell IMO, and neither of those 2 is the MadStad. The MeanMug/Evil eyes I can deal with, the halos or similar are on everything on the street right now and look like something a 15yo slaps on their Civic.

Anyone notice the ghetto spinner wheels seem to be making a comeback too, seen several sets of them lately.

I've been thinking of putting a Mean Mug on my RGU that is equipped with the 14.5 Madstad. I think it looks damn good.

As I was riding down the road at 85 with my 13" madstad all the way down and lighting my cigar this weekend.... I was thinking how much I love my madstad.
13" Madstad here and I have yet to understand how you guys manage light cigars/smokes at speed. Even after fiddling with the angle and height on mine a lot

He's probably using the standard lighter that is in the fairing. I could be wrong though and maybe he is using a Bic or Zippo. :)

I don't care for the look at all. That being said, it works so well that I am on my 3rd season with the Madstad!
My third season as well. Wouldn't be without it and and I don't mind the look at all. I think it looks better than a lot of the tall, curved, swoopy (i invented that word) shields out there.

Functional ain't always pretty. Sometimes you can't have both. You want a fun hot stripper that doesn't cook or clean, or do you maybe deal with a hammer toe/webbed feet or maybe a love handle or two on a nice looking woman that pampers you and makes you happy?
Strippers are fun but not for the long run :D

Madstad=great function with love handles
8" clock werks=sexy fun non functional

I'm still using the clock werks, but someday I might settle down with a madstad

Just my regular old flame cigar lighter. Puts a little more stout flame than a Bic. My C&C seat drops me about 1.5" from stock. With the 13" all the way down I use a clineometer app with my phone to set the angle to 57 degrees. I do have an ultra with lowers which help a ton. I'm 5'9". I got a 13" to make sure it was high enough with the wife. I have to raise it up about 2" with her. Oh yeah, I like the way it looks.

You can have both form and function. Try a 12" klockwerks or use the height tool on the Cee Baileys website. I tool around Houston with a 8" klockwerks, but put on my 15" Cee Baileys Trssc dome for long trips.

Right at 50,000 miles on my Madstad.
Took it off my 09 and put it on my 13. Left stock one on for a while. It sucked. Put my 10 windvest on. It sucked. Put my 13 windvest on. it was okay. I couldnt look over it though. Still not good at 80.
Madstad went on. Perfect.

Just having fun sharknose, I had Madstad on a Ulysses and like it. I actually have 12" on right now and got a couple of tall shields from my brother when he traded his for a 2015 that I'll use on a long trip etc. one is klockwerks 16" and other harley 19" which I probably won't use.

I thought I saw a pic of your bike. It's bad ass. How are you liking that 107?
