I'm running the 22". What did you need to know? It's 16" wide about 4" down. It swoops in a bit then it's about 15.25" further down. Mine is on a '12 and a Touratech bracket. I like it. Better wind management than the CalSci, though shorter.
Thanks for the reply Don, glad to hear you like the 22 inch Cee Bailey, so you used the Touratech bracket because you wanted to mount your GPS there or was there some other reason ?

Increased range of adjustability for the bracket. It's to far forward for my poor eyes, the gps is on a RAM mount on the bars. I can read that.

FWIW as an idea to check out, when I had the Gen1 bike, I found one of the windshield companies was massively discounting discontinued models. I picked up a Burgman scooter windshield and cut it to shape. It was too much coverage for summer, when I'd put the stocker back on.

Sounds like We both have pretty much the same vision issues, my gps is mounted on a RAM ball that replaces the left front handlebar clamp bolt, for me it's about the best possible location and doesn't block any of the gauges.
Windshield I'm not 100% sure yet but it's most likely going to be a 22 inch Cee Bailey on the stock mounts

Don my tall Yamaha shield measures 15.5 inches from the top center down to the slot for the ignition key, what does your 22 inch Cee Bailey measure ?

I don't think that's a real accurate way of measuring. My screen is on an aftermarket bracket ran all the way up, so it wouldn't tell you much if you're still on the factory mounts. I'll get you a measurement when I can get to the bike next week. The top to bottom tip measurement should be enough for you. The CeeBaily only has one set of screw holes, in the lowest slot it tucks the lower tip right into that hollow in front of the dash, so you can work your range of adjustment in with 22" and get a good idea.

I bought a parabellum for my 2012 and transferred it to my 2016. The gen1 madstat bracket bolted right up. My bike was a lot quieter than my buddies bike on wind noise. I am ordering a new one when I get the bike I just bought into my hands. I took the madstat bracket off my wrecked 2016. I just have to remember to get the gen1 windshield for it.

I switch off between the National Cycle sport touring windshield and their sport windshield. The sport touring model works a little better than the Yamaha tall windshield, but there is still some buffeting and turbulence. I am 6'4" and prefer to look over the top. I have a 2013 and run both windshields in the top position. I wear a Schuberth C3 helmet with earplugs and the buffeting really isn't that big of a deal for me. FWIW, I am considering going to the Madstad setup to see how that works.

So you have the 18.5 inch and the 21.5 inch models ? Not the 24.25 inch model ? I thought the Madstad brackets were no longer available for the 2012-2013 models ?

Yes, that is correct. I like the 18.5 inch sport windshield (dark tint) for warmer weather, so I get airflow to my helmet vents. Madstad still has the brackets listed as available on their website.

They show the screens as 'available'. When you pull the brackets from the drop-down they show 'unavailable'. Wonder if it was the hurricane that they're doing a 10% off for that has caused the brackets to dry up.

Thanks for the reply ! Now you have me thinking maybe the 21.5 might be what I should order. I believe the tall Yamaha shield I'm using now is 18 inch so 3.5 inches taller V Stream might work very well for me, currently if I lower my head a couple inches wind noise goes down a lot, the extra width seems like it should also help.

There are 3 different sizes of V Stream windshields for the Tenere and 3 different reviews but none of them give any kind of indication about what size shield they are talking about, guess I will try giving V Stream headquarters a call tomorrow and see what I can learn.

Is there a dealer in your area that stocks these V Stream windshields for the Tenere or did you have to order it somewhere ?

I always order all my accessories online. The dealers around here don't even have any S10s in stock let alone any accessories. I believe I bought the V Stream windshields from Revzilla. FYI, I just placed an order for the Madstad set up. I talked to Blair at Madstad because I need the Touratech crossbar. He was very helpful and quoted me an 8 or 9 day delivery time. So, the Madstad brackets are still available for the Gen 1 bikes.

Called V Stream, the medium windshield adjusts 18.25-20.5 inches measuring from top of shield to slot for ignition key, tall shield is 20.5-22.75, the shortest shield is 16-18.5
I guess because the tall shield is the widest at 17 inches that's the one I ordered with free shipping, it's supposed to ship UPS today.
If I decide it's to tall I will cut some off but Hopefully it will be fine just the way it comes.
It's going to be interesting to see what kind of effect this tall shield has for me.

Could have saved $18 buying through eBay but since I actually got to talk to someone that actually had all the measurements I wanted I felt it was worth paying the extra $18.

On the stock windshield setup how do you go about removing those 4 rubber plugs that the mounting screws go through ? I would like to move them to the lower mounting position. Or maybe I should just order 4 more of those rubber plugs so I could more easily move the windshield anytime ?
