Frequently asked questions

How do I pick the right motorcycle windshield height? Sit on the bike in your normal riding position and aim for a shield that puts the top edge just below your line of sight, so you look over it rather than through it. Taller shields move more air off your chest and helmet on the highway, shorter ones keep the sightline clean and reduce buffeting for shorter riders.

Are National Cycle windshields hard to install? No. Most National Cycle shields use a model specific mounting kit that bolts to existing hardware, and QuickSet and other quick release systems let you take the shield off in seconds for around town riding.

Do you offer free shipping in Canada? Yes, on orders over $279.99.
