I'm a little disappointed I didn't see any of the F-Series windshields on there.

Wow, they must have just done that. I was on their site on Thursday and they still didn't have it listed.

I think the gauge package might be a bit too tall for some of the F-series shields (or maybe they just haven't gotten around to test fitting them).

They also don't offer the Plexi 3 full fairing, but they do have the backseat cargo pod and the hand deflectors. Interesting!
Speaking of National Cycle, my NC Deflector DX arrived on my doorstep this evening. I think all of the time I spent with the tape measure and the specs paid off. It's just the size I was looking for.

I ordered one that fit the late model Nighthawk, but they list the same numbers for the CB1100 (2594 clear, 2595 light tint). I got the tinted one.

One of the reasons I went with NC is that I love their Quick Set mounting system. It's flexible enough to adjust the shield just about any way you want it. It also allows you to detach and remount the shield in about a minute.

Install was not too much trouble. The handlebar mounts are supposed to go as close to the upper bend in the bars as possible. I was able to squeeze it in just under the clutch master cylinder's banjo. Besides having to heat the ball and socket joints with a hair dryer (tight fit!), it easily installed in less than an hour. It seems very solid.

I didn't finish untill 11:00PM, so the test ride will have to wait until tomorrow. The lighting in my garage sucks, so I'll also get some daylight pics as well.

I just got a response from national cycle, they won't be offering the f-series for the CB11 and aren't currently designing any new windshields for it either.

The F-series are generic, they don't tailor them for any application as far I could find. The f-16 fits on our bikes, as I have one that I tried out on it although I can't speak 100% for the others. The cluster *is* a bit taller than is ideal with the screen, but when I go on a road trip or the weather turns crappy again I'll be putting it on.

I've got some pics that I'll upload at some point, the screen is standing up taller than I'd hoped, but I found I could move it down a bit more after I took the pics.

Please do, I am curious to see how it looks, do you have the tinted one?
