The Madstaad is worth every penny. I have one of the first ones made on my bike. Because of all of it's adjust ability the hardest part was finding the sweet spot. New Madstaad's have a different mount that is supposed to much easier to setup.
The top of the shield is at chin level on me and the air stream passes about 2" over my head! There is almost no buffeting with it and I found I could hear my stereo noticeably better. My wife said the Madstaad made a big change in her comfort level on the back.
While this a great forum all things HD related http://www.roadglide.org/ is all Road Glides, 24/7. They have many reviews of the Madstaad.

I agree. Best windshield I ever had and excellent customer service. No wind buffet. In the rain it will push most all rain up and over your head plus you stay warmer in cold weather. Go for it you won't be sorry.

I have one on a Triumph, after trail and error with several other screens, the Madstad was great from day one. After just a few minor adjustments I had it dailed in my height and riding position. Everything I have read on various forums has all been positive.
