Pics Added---Ordered my Madstad Shield "Drop-In" Kit for 2009 FZ6
Ordered the kit, which he doesn't have on the site, but is an aluminum black powder coated stock shield replacement with holes for his robobrackets, the robobrackets, black coated stainless steel screws to replace Yamaha's plastic ones, and an 18" dark grey spider shield. Looking forward to this mod as winter approaches.
Mark and I talked at length and he answered all my questions. Should ship late next week after latest batch of aluminum adapter shields comes back from powder coating.
$289.95. Though a little pricey, I figure it's adjustable and I WILL spend most if not all that much trying various shields.....
Edited to add:
Very solid install. I like the powder coated aluminum stock shield replacement. I actually got the plate and brackets a day before the shield, which Madstad drop-shipped from the shield manufacturer. And oh, by the way, not sure I should share, but Mark did not say NOT to, so here goes: The shield came in a Cee Bailey's box with Cee Baileys branded packing tape. Looks like Cee Baileys Aircraft Plastics who makes other fine shields also makes the shield for the Madstad kit. The shield in dark grey is very high quality. Holes drilled were spot on, and the whole shield is nicely beveled. The white sticker has been replaced with a nicely laser engraved "Madstad Engineering". I'm as anal as it gets, and I couldn't find imperfections in the tinting---nice even dark grey.
I don't find the dark grey as TOO dark. I actually installed the brackets too high at first and threw the shield on anyway. Rode to work at O'Dark thirty and looked through the shield alot. Could see fine, but wouldn't do it all the time. Lowered the shield today and it's great. Might still lower it.
I'm 5'9" with a 30" inseam. The shield in this pic is about at my chin level. I'll try to get pics with me on and add them later. I got lucky with my install and as is I already have a quiet ride with no buffeting and very little noise over my Shoei. There is sound, but it's even and pretty quiet. Here's too many pics.....
