- If your considering MadStad's Harley Davidson Pan America Windshield you better watch this installation step-by-step. You also better watch my upcoming ride review.
This how-to is a visual companion to the manual that gets sent by the factory and contains tips as well as help. Its a bit harder than you think and it requires you to take the whole front of the bike off, including the fairing, and tft display.
This episode is part of my Protect this House series for Harley Davidson Pan Am.

Thank you. Just wanted to let you know that I have installed the new windshield and your video has been a huge help
Super glad to hear that! I wish it was around when I installed it lol! How do you like it so far?
@@MCCJustMotos still have not tested it, but will do hopefully next week as I have a trip planned along the Red Sea cost. Should be windy :)
Excellent work documenting the install. Gonna help alot of people including myself. Thx.
Thanks much! I hope it helps a few folks, I wish I would have seen it first too lol!
That looks like a pretty nice wind screen replacement/upgrade option. I'm sure we're going to start seeing after market options for the Pan AM now.
Thanks for the watch! I’ve got a few more tweaks to try before my full review comes out.
Great video dude! I like your enthusiasm.
Dude thanks! I can promise you its not an act that's for sure lol.
I could tell it was genuine. I love my pan am.
Fantastic!!!
Thanks Will!
I just got my Pan Am yesterday and as a fellow vlogger my wife watched the video and said the same thing about where to shield sits in the line of sight. I had it in the the high position. I saw the MadStad in person at bike week looks like a good system, also like the TFT display relocation kit. Since I just got the bike need to ride it for a bit and figure out what needs to be changed.
Thanks Pete! Yeah I dig it so far! I’m riding with the 20” now (I have a review on that too). I just subscribed to your channel, looks like a bunch of rad stuff on it!
@@MCCJustMotos thanks. Ditto on the subscription. Look forward to seeing what we can do to these suckers.
Nice job
Thanks much! I wish this was around before I tried it...LOL.. It was way more complex than I thought.
FANTASTIC, thanks a log, I really need one of those, but will pass...TOO MUCH WORK
Cheers.
HAHA ...yeah it was way more work than I thought.
Thanks for the video. Nicely done. The MadStad is similar to the CalSci (without the CalSci hole). It's too much of a 'barn door' in appearance for me, not that the Pan America is a thing of beauty. Tried the CalSci, which did 'work' but was similarly huge (much wider).
Looking for more stylish offerings from MRA and others.
Noticed you're in Maryland. Just north of you in Delaware.
Thanks Scott! Understand about the looks of the thing. I think it goes with the flat face look of the Pan Am anyway..lol, but yea I totally want to see what else is out there!
Hey nice video 😎 🇮🇹
thank you!
I am think of getting one of these windshield I see the Yamaha version has a GPS Bar above the display wonder if that is a option for the Pan America?
Looking forward to you review 😎🏍🎥👍👊
Uploading now.. ;) Not sure if it will be an option..
yes there are companies that make the bar for the pan americas
Do you happen to know if it takes this much work for the factory HD 18" windshield replacement? Awesome instructional video btw! GO CUBS!
Haha well I’m an Oriole Fan..(paper bag). I think it’s a a few screws for the factory 18” windshield but that’s it..However, it will not correct the lean back “problem” that factory mechinism has..plus the squiggle line. Thanks for the kind words…BTW I just upgraded to a 20” windshield!

The problem with the Pan America is there is no cross bar to mount a proper GPS or another electronics like a radar detector. We are stuck with little real-estate on the bars.
I'd like to see some mount options before I purchase something like this . Also the Harley Navi is a joke.
Yeah, I’m 100% with you on the Harley Navigaton. For any real navigation on/off-road I use my Rever APP or others!
Any advice on putting the cowling back. I ran out of daylight and can’t see if the top plugs are aligned. Also a bit nervous to smack it back in not knowing if the top is aligned.
Hmm..just align the plugs in the holes. Use your fingers to guide a bottom plug/pin into one of the holes and then so the other side and then the tops!
what size shield did you get 20"??
This is the 18” BUT, I Also have a 20” and ride with that more now.

You didn’t show how you removed the plastic piece at 6:52 before taking the cowling off. At 7:18 is wasn’t there anymore.
Your totally right! Good catch As soon as I took those 4 bolts out including that bent L piece the plastic part just could slip off. I did that and filmed but somehow it did not make it in. Thanks again for the catch!
@@MCCJustMotos well, without your video I’m not sure what I would do but now I’m ready to put mine on soon along with the Garmin bracket. Many thanks for that.
So glad to have helped!
@@MCCJustMotos just installed it along with the Mike Estes metal adaptor for the Garmin GPS. Only issue I had was putting the HD TFT screen back in the new housing and made it simpler after I very slightly drilled out the side holes so the 2 long screws could easily pop through and I found it much easier to put the screws in first and then from the inside added each of the rubber compression grommets and threaded them on, then tightened with a Phillips. Again all much easier thanks to your video.
Also of note, the only parts re-used were the side deflectors and corresponding 4 screws as well as the last 4 screws that mount the bottom of the Madstad housing to the bike.
@@FM-db3ft glad everything worked out for you!! Let me know how you like it next.
Note to self. Take fairing and display inside when staying at a hotel
The instructions on the windshield I ordered in 2023 appear to be worse than your instructions. I would have put the cross bar in backwards if not for this video
I’m very glad to have helped. Yeah the Directions were NOT the best.
Nice cap
Go Co!!!
