perfect size for me

I am 1.60m tall and this is the perfect size. The wind goes right through my helmet and gives me a very comfortable ride. I wear an off-road helmet with a visor and this windshield directs all the air and I can turn my head from side to side with ease. Off-road, it doesn't come close to hitting me or getting in my way while standing. I can still see well from above when seated.

Pros
  • don't waste too much time
Cons
  • concise instructions

Great with KLR Dash for a 6ft rider.

Just the right height with the KLR dashboard to completely eliminate the impact of my helmet and still be able to see. The Light Smoke tint is virtually non-tinting, but given the height of this windshield, I find it preferable for night driving. I'm hoping that the polycarbonate and acrylic test videos will prove true when I get them on the trail.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Reliability

Better than I thought!

Works really great. Arrived 2 days earlier than planned. Was very easy to install and now I have a nice quiet air pocket for riding in the back without much reverse thrust and "dirty air". This makes the KLR more comfortable on long journeys. I'm 6ft 5in and it still gives me good clean air in the helmet from about the chin. This is the third National Cycle windshield I have purchased for various bikes and they represent a very good quality product.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Durable

Good, not the best in parts

I don't like this windshield for KLR but it improves the driving comfort. Problem in the future - the mounting holes I had were lengthened so the standard equipment didn't work. I had to buy other screws and washers to make it work. Looks pretty weird. It sticks out from below, leaving a big gap above the headlights. See photo. I was able to install my GPS there, so not too bad - it's not very good off-road. Distorts vision too much and too high. "Not bad" definitely keeps the wind off my…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
