Product Feature

• National Cycle proudly introduces a revolution in windscreen performance!
• To offer a quiet, comfortable ride, other manufacturers will offer taller windshields or spoiler tops to lift the air stream. National Cycle designed, for the first time ever, a windshield with airflow calculated and adjusted to really quiet the riders environment.
• The typical airflow pattern of the wake from most windshields is called a van Karman vortex. At speeds of 50-90 mph, the air swirls off the windshield in an approximate 90-degree segment of rotation. It rolls off the windshield, hits the bottom of the riders neck on the way up, and curves off the shoulder at approximately 45 degrees. National Cycle gave the VStream its name for the shape it takes at the upper edge.
• The V shape is so outstandingly quiet because it pushes this vortex out and away more than 4 inches from the side of the riders head. The riders helmet then resides in still air, and the passengers environment is greatly improved as well.
• State-of-the-art Quantum coated Lexan polycarbonate gives VStream windshields outstanding optical clarity and strength characteristics unmatched by any windshield maker worldwide. This exclusive combination of Quantum coating on 4.5-6.0mm thick Lexan material increases scratch resistance 30X over other manufacturers acrylic shields.

National Cycle VStream Windshield - 25in./Clear N20012A Review

I must say that I did a lot of research on this shield on various GoldWing forums and sites. The feedback was generally great for the SE version (because of it's 6mm thickness), but I honestly didn't want to spend just under $400 for some RainZip and an extra 1.5mm thickness over this one (4.5mm) when the OEM shield is 4mm. So, I gambled and it paid off. I just went on a 500+ ride yesterday to give 'er a workout down in the Texas Hill country. I had the shield one notch up from the bottom. The shield was VERY stable and provided excellent wind protection. I'm just a hair short of 6' tall. And even with my modular helmet pulled up, it still didn't give me much turbulence. I expected the additional flex with the wider upper screen...that goes without saying...but it was in NO WAY any worse than the stock shield. In fact I was quite surprised that it didn't flex as much as I expected. It was a breeze to install. Just search on YouTube for some videos...Cruiseman has a good one where he installs an SE version, but the same applies to this one. The only small complaint is getting the OEM vent to "snap" in. Once I figured it out "Doh"...it was easy.

One thing I would suggest, if you take a look at the installation video from the F4 windshield folks, they use a strip of soft Velcro in place of that ridiculous OEM tape on the facing of the dashboard. Remove that old tape that tends to bunch up and replace it with Velcro and the shield will be as snug as a bug and wont bind as much.

For those of you that are cost conscience and more practical, this shield is excellent.

PS. I ordered the shield from the folks at Kinney Cycles. Had it to me in a few days. Well packed and ready to mount.
