Made my way over to the Madstad folks this morning. Weather has been pretty dicey lately (lots of rain, thunder & lightening), so happy to see a break.
Madstad Engineering World Domination HQ
Mark Stadnyk, the founder of Madstad Engineering was kind enough to give me a tour of their facility and install the product. I normally like to install stuff myself, but Mark is a good wrench and I got to hear tidbits about the product as each piece was installed.

There are are couple of different screen shapes for my Tiger 800XC, but I went with what Mark recommended (a little wider). However, he sent me home with both so that I can see which one I like, both aesthetically and functionally.
The ride back was about 25 miles, and while I don't want to spoil the more in depth review that I'll be performing, I will say that it was worth the trip, including getting absolutely soaked the last 7 miles of my way home.
Mark is clearly passionate about what he does and their 60 day customer satisfaction guarantee is almost unheard of. Madstad windscreens are one of the most expensive aftermarket screens on the market and while Mark is confident in what they put out, if the rider isn't happy, he's not happy, so he puts his money where his mouth is. Good people from what I saw.
