Although the Cee Bailey windscreen was an improvement over the stock FZ6 screen I was never totally satisfied. Just too much wind noise. The Madstad brackets in combination with a Parabellum windscreen did wonders for my 650 V-Strom so I ordered the do it yourself Madstad brackets and their 20 inch Spyder windscreen for the FZ6.
Installing the brackets entailed drilling 4 holes in the stock screen. A paper template was included in the kit as well as a drill bit designed for plastic. I had to bend the brackets slightly so things lined up for the pre-drilled Spyder shield.
The Madstad system allows for a wide range of screen adjustments. I've set the screen to its lowest position and full forward. This set up works perfectly for me - great coverage and quiet. At highway speeds I can ride with my helmet screen fliped up, no bugs in the face.
