Are those of you that have this windshield, satisfied with it? Having the adjustable angle seems to be a good choice. Thanks.

Sometimes I wish it was a little bigger but all in all I'm happy with mine. Easy to remove if you get the urge. And the ability to play with the angle is very nice. It took me a little experimenting to get mine where I like it.

I've been reading about all the different options available , trying to decide. I now have. Ask the man that owns one. Thanks to both of you that responded. I'll order mine today.Short Timer_imp said:

I do not like the look of windshields on bikes. That being said I have this on my bike as I commute daily and needed to cut down on the wind pressure on my chest. I cut it down four inches to make it look a little less obtrusive. I still don't like it and always take it off on the weekends for riding around Detroit metro. Maybe I should paint the darn thing to look more like it is part of the bike.

I own two. One for each CB. It does a great job keeping the wind off my chest at highway speed (which is why I bought it). There 3 adjustment points on each side, so you can get it just the way you like it. Adjustment might be more limited on the '14 models due to the larger instrument cluster.Oldtimer_imp said:
I'm about to remove my Deflectors this weekend and install the bigger NC Plexi shields for the winter.

The '14 instruments do make adjustments more difficult. I could never get it adjusted where it wasn't noisy or buffety. Seems rider height and noise tolerance is the biggest factor in windscreen satisfaction.

I've mounted mine way high (as I do on every bike that I've put one of these on). It looks a little out of place that way (the bottom of the shield just clears the instruments), but it takes all the pressure away from the head down at the cost of a little buffeting and I like it that way.

I am riding a '14 DLX. I want to buy the correct NC street shield for this bike but the National Cycle website recommends the model N2561 (light tint no hand shield) There are so many models. Can anyone here confirm the correct one for me?
Thanks so much!!
Thanks so much!!

I haven't liked mine much. Increased noise, weird low pressure in the dead air of my chest, and I feel like I'm getting punched in the throat with the wind. I'm not giving up on it yet though. I'm going to spend a weekend playing with the adjustment to try to find a better setup.

I have the NC Street Shield EX and am not 100% happy with it either. Always sounds like a flag flapping in the wind and the faster you go the louder the flapping. I only use it for winter so I accept the flapping in exchange for the wind protection. I think these bikes just want to be nekid. I would like to test ride a CB with the little fly screen. Most everyone says they do a decent job, it's just so small I don't see how it could do much of anything.

I have the NC too, but picked up a MRA with Laminar Lip on the top edge for the Griso. Liked it so much I bought a spare mount for the CB and swapped it out. I think the killer accessory is the Laminar Lip which goes a long ways to reduce turbulence coming over the head. It does take a bit of tweaking to find the angle that works for you.
And it's not cheap.

I have the NC a Deflector screen on my 14 DLX. It's the same screen I also had on my 13 and it works fine. It's the base model ( I'm cheap...) so it doesn't adjust easily but it fits fine. At times I wish it was taller... but I'm satisfied as it does cut down the wind blast and because it is small, it doesn't overpower the design of the bike either.

You may want to consider the Laminar Lip to add to the top of your Deflector. Smooths out the airflow and raises the bubble a bit. There is another product out there that does the same thing but the brand name escapes me at the moment.

Rboe...thanks for the tip...sounds interesting. Who sells it?
I just looked at their web site...what style and/or size do you recommend?

I bought mine second had from a Griso owner (oddly enough, the original owner of the Russell Day Long seat I bought for the Griso) so I'm not sure which model.
Laminar lip makes a universal model (several widths): http://www.laminarlip.com/cruisers.php
(cool beans, they make ears to help cover the hands too! Didn't know that!)
Mine "appears" to match the CU model; http://www.twistedthrottle.com/mra-...s-cruisers-enduro-and-dual-sport-motorcycles#
It's a bit bigger than the NC screen offering more protection. I really wish I had had it on the Moto Guzzi Rally trip as the little Give A770, while it looks very cool on the Griso, does not give the shoulders a break from the wind. At least I have hand protection on the Griso, the CB is still open to the wind so I'm looking for solutions there with the cold weather approaching.
Cold for AZ anyway.

I use the plexistar 2 with excellent results

I had one on my Nighthawk 750. It was awful. Helmet buffeting and noise. I took it right off again.
