PIVOT SCREWS
The MadStad brackets each have a pivot screw, 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 or move
it to an alternate pivot position, 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.
