National Cycle has manufactured motorcycle windshields in Illinois since 1937, using its own hardcoated Quantum polycarbonate. Windshield choice affects wind noise, buffeting and fatigue more than most riders expect, and National Cycle publishes real height and coverage data to get it right.
Transform your Harley-Davidson Softail with the National Cycle Switchblade Windshield, engineered for 1986-2017 models. This windshield is crafted from 4.0mm thick Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate, providing exceptional impact resistance and scratch protection. Its innovative design allows for quick, tool-free removal when paired with the optional National Cycle Quick-Release Mount Kit.

mounts easily with with mounting kit sold separately looks good. But I expected it to flip the wind over my head. It stops the wind from hitting you in the chest but thats all. I think the top of the shield could have had a curve to it. to flip the air flow up higher. To install on my 2007 Low rider the quick mount kit had to be slid up to its highest point and the adjustment on the windshield had to be slid all the way up to clear the headllight.

Love it. Takes the wind blast of your chest up through 80MPH. And looks very sporty on my Super Glide Custom. Black on black.
