Take that wind! - Dangergirl416_imp - 05-24-2013
Got my new windscreen for the CB11 and I'm thrilled. A little annoyed with the hose clamps though...hubby is trying to figure out a better way of attaching it to the bike.

Have you taken it out with it yet? I'm needing a screen....BADLY! I commute 120 miles a day and the wind out here has been ATTROCIOUS lately.

Not yet but the hubby did. He said it makes a HUGE difference! Going to try it out tomorrow, yay!
I got the windscreen for $102 + free shipping. It's a National Cycle screen for the CB1100.

What part number?
RE: Take that wind! - Lord Popgun - 05-24-2013
That looks nice! And taller than the Puig I installed. Let us know how it works. I might get one for cooler weather.
RE: Take that wind! - CB4ME_imp - 05-24-2013
Is that the Street Shield or Deflector Screen? I'm thinking Deflector Screen.
It does look very nice!
I'm curious why hose clamps were needed. Supposedly NC screens have a pretty good universal mounting system.

Yes, could we see a better picture of the hose clamps you refer too?
Thanks
RE: Take that wind! - Dangergirl416_imp - 05-25-2013
It's the Steetshield, model #N2560
It's funny that the parts list & directions call them "fork hose clamps"
Getting ready to head out to try the bike with the shield, I'll let you know how it goes.

Looks good! I initially thought I wanted the Street Shield, but ended up going with the slightly smaller Deflector instead. I was concerned that the Deflector only used two handlebar mounting points, but it turned out to be solid as a rock.
The hose clamp is standard for any of National Cycle's 4 point mounted shields. One warning, make sure that they are as high up on the forks as possible. I had a National Cycle Plexi 3 on my CB750 and installed the clamps above the "dust line" on the tubes. That worked fine until I put about 80 lbs. of gear on the back for a camping road trip. Turns out the front end dives a lot farther with a load on the back. Within 700 miles I'd toasted both fork seals. Expensive and frustrating lesson.

Any further ride-report Dangergirl? I installed the Puig on mine and it helps, but i'm still getting tired of the wind blast. Initially i wanted the least obvious (small) shield I could find, but now I think I should have gone larger for comfort. Anxious to hear more about your experience with this shield.
Thanks
