Used it on 1 trip, was unhappy with the noise and buffeting and removed it. Dang NS website does not list the Plexistar 2 for a 2014 CB1100 RE: 2014 Accessories??? - uscgmac_imp - 04-21-2015 Quite honestly I don't think this bike was really intended for large bulky windshields. They don't fit the look of the bike and I think they create more buffeting than anything else. That's what big cruisers are for. I think its sufficient just to get a small screen like the puig to keep the blast off your chest to reduce fatigue and wear a full face or 3/4 with a face shield and your good to go. Its just my opinion but I think those large shields are somewhat useless and look gaudy.

Totally takes away from the bikes smooth lines and design. I ride daily at 70mph and with the dart small screen I am fine. If wind is a worry sell the cb and get a large touring Harley or Yamaha with a bat fairing. RE: 2014 Accessories??? - Wisedrum - 04-22-2015 Or use a RMA Windshield. I enjoy riding with it. It 's not too big and takes away enough wind. Though you don't have to for example buy a Road King, which I like. Well, I don't care what people say 'bout windshields destroying the line of the CB. The same goes for saddlebags. Use what you need, it still fits to the Honda. Wisedrum RE: 2014 Accessories??? - uscgmac_imp - 04-22-2015 I'm not a big fan of having to buy alot of the assesories for my bike overseas because the shipping charges are rediculous and if you have to return something it could be a nightmare. Unfortunately there is not alot of stuff offered stateside for this bike. Anyway I use the puig windscreen which works good for me. This is a wind in your hair, nuckles in the breeze kind of bike so I wouldn't expect total coverage from the elements. I have a HD Ultra full bagger/tour pack bike for that. RE: 2014 Accessories??? - Motogeezer1949_imp - 04-22-2015 I bought a cafe seat and a rear fender/ taillight combo for Erics CB from WeBike Japan. Prices are excellent and shipping was free. They have a huge selection and a wide variety of stuff. Peruse through their website. Can't hurt to check it out

I simply forgot, that the price for a foreign product in the states is much higher. The other way round for foreign products in Germany. Prior to he RMA shield I used the "second size" of a Puig shield, that was fixed with the head light. In its way it worked. But when I drove my first so called "long distance" trip, I found out, that the windprotection wasn't satisfying. Because of that experience I changed the shield. The RMA shield was'nt too expensive and the protection is much better, without pushing a big wall through the wind. The CB went through changes, until it arrives where it is now. Me too. Wisedrum RE: 2014 Accessories??? - uscgmac_imp - 04-23-2015 Its hard to find a happy medium with this bike. I think some people with this bike are caught between wanting a bike to tour on and something Retro/sporty. Its a tough platform for that. I totally intend to use this as a run around town bike, sort of a bar hopper fun boulavard cruiser type. I will do longer rides because when I get on the bike on my days off I usually do a couple hundred miles anyway. I guess I could do an overnighter if I change my seat and throw over my soft luggage which I had from another bike but its not really my intention for the bike. RE: 2014 Accessories??? - jerrycon_imp - 04-23-2015 National Cycle's Plexistar 2 windscreen installs okay on the 2014 standard. I have done it. |
