Great product; too short to block wind
Looks nice, but way too short to be an effective windshield. Even at in-town speeds it felt like no windshield at all.
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.
The National Cycle Switchblade Chopped windshield is a compact, clear screen specifically designed for Indian Scout and other compatible V-twin motorcycles. It features the innovative SwitchBlade Quick Release mount system, which allows you to effortlessly swap windshield sizes or remove the windshield entirely without needing any tools. This provides both style and versatility for your ride.
For Indian Scout riders seeking a clean, minimalist look with practical wind deflection, the National Cycle Switchblade Chopped Clear windshield is an ideal choice. Its compact height reduces wind pressure on the rider's chest, making highway cruising more comfortable without the visual bulk of a full touring screen. The clear finish ensures excellent visibility, maintaining the bike's raw aesthetic while adding a layer of protection.
The standout feature of this windshield is its integration with the SwitchBlade Quick Release mount system. Once your bike is fitted with the necessary brackets (sold separately), you can attach or remove the windshield in seconds, or even swap it for a different SwitchBlade height to suit varying riding conditions or personal style. This flexibility makes the Switchblade Chopped windshield a smart and adaptable accessory for your Indian Scout.
Is the mounting kit included with this windshield?
No, the SwitchBlade mounting bracket kit is sold separately. You will need to purchase these brackets to install this windshield on your Indian Scout or other V-twin.
Can I remove this windshield without using tools?
Yes, once the SwitchBlade Quick Release mounting brackets are installed, the windshield can be attached and removed completely without the need for any tools.
Will this windshield fit my Indian Scout?
Yes, this Switchblade Chopped windshield is specifically designed for the Indian Scout, as well as other V-twin motorcycles that are equipped with National Cycle SwitchBlade mounting brackets.

Installed on a 2013 FLS Harley Davidson.<br /><br />Pros:<br />- Very good looking on the FLS model.<br />- I no longer need to put on an eyes protection while riding within the city.<br />- The windchill is way less severe now.<br />- Easy on, easy off.<br /><br />Cons:<br />- Wind buffeting is crazy out in the highway.
Highest quality apparent in every aspect. Be sure to unlock before mounting. Unit is shipped locked. Good wind break without dominating the appearance of the bike. Mounted on '12 FLS.
