I am looking for some windscreen brackets for my uly. The short shield is fine in the summer but the tall one I have for winter creates a lot of buffeting. Has anyone used both and can tell me the pros/cons of each? Are there any other ones out there I am missing? | ||

Palmer came out with theirs first, then Madstad came out with one that required a new windshield and couldn't use your stock flyscreen like the Palmer. They have since revised it to get rid of those flaws, but I still feel the Palmer is the better setup. Vibrations aren't an issue, but Palmer does sell optional braces to reinforce it if you run a extra large windscreen. I have a bunch of Palmers stuff, so I am a bit biased, but the quality and service are amazing   | ||

I've never used the Madstad brackets, but just installed the Palmer Brackets. I experienced the same problem without the offset brackets, my head/helmet were right in the airflow and had big time buffeting. I'm 5' 9" and have the PB set on the middle height with the tall wind shield. Perfect. I have a KBC helmet and the vent on top of the helmet whistles. My Scorpion 1000 helmet doesn't have that problem. I've not tried the highest bracket setting. | ||

You can get just the brackets now to use with your stock flyscreen and windscreen from Madstad.. http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/it.A/id.368/.f  | ||

+2 on Palmer. Good quality products & service. Ian's windhields also seem to be more robust (4mm?) - Dont seem to vibrate / deflect as much as the ZG+4 at speed. j | ||

I have the Palmer brackets with the tool-less adjustment mounted on a 2009 XB12XT with the stock windshield. I am 6 ft. tall and have the brackets adjusted to the max tilt and laid back positions, and am 100% satisfied with the results. As far as quality and service, I would not hesitate to recommend Iain Palmers products. | ||

None of the links I found work for access to Palmers site. Is it just me? | ||

Looks like to Palmer bracket mounts in the stock fly screen holes. Is that correct? | ||

I got the mad stad spider with the aluminum fly screen and the memphis shades lowers. Works great for me, can you say electra-glide? Bolts right up, only shakes when the uly shakes; xbs' with dts' Full helmet-- shield up --shield down three quarter helmet; its all good. Sounds to me like two good products palmer and mad stad, no experience with palmer, good for us. | ||

Correct. Pop out the rubber grommets, mount the brackets. | ||

The buffeting depends on your height, the screen and your helmet. Mostly the helmet I have found. Its an un-faired bike and that sort of thing will happen. I am 6 foot 6 inch and its fine at 120 mph with my helmet because the wind hits my chest. I tried a C Bailey screen and it was not to good for me. | ||

Quite happy with the Palmer setup. | ||

The madstad has a lot of flex in it. palmer works fine. I would recommend the support brackets for either brand. | ||

I have the Palmer with the stock XT screen and I am very pleased with it. Really made riding much more comfortable. I decided to try it first without the support brackets and all seems to be fine without them. | ||

Thanks for all the responses guys. Looks like Palmer has a lot of satisfied customers. Madstad people seem satisfied, there just aren't nearly as many of them. | ||
