This product looks great on my bike
The shield is actually too small to keep the wind from ripping around it but it does look great.

About National Cycle
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 in smoke offers Harley-Davidson Softail riders a stylish, compact solution for wind management. Its distinctive chopped design, roughly 4-5 inches shorter than a full-size shield, provides a clean aesthetic while effectively reducing wind noise and turbulence. This windshield is perfect for those who want a lower-profile shield without sacrificing comfort.
Why riders pick this
- Smoke tint adds a custom, aggressive look
- Chopped design reduces wind noise and turbulence
- Shorter profile complements low-slung saddles
- Designed for Harley-Davidson Softail models
Designed with the V-twin cruiser in mind, the National Cycle Switchblade Chopped Windshield in smoke tint brings a custom edge to your Harley Softail. The re-contoured top and narrower, trimmed bottom profile not only give it a sleek, aggressive look but also channel airflow more efficiently around the rider. This results in a more comfortable ride, especially beneficial for shorter riders or those running low-slung saddles who often find taller shields overwhelming.
Enhanced Riding Experience
- Chopped design, 4-5 inches shorter than a full-size 2-UP windshield
- Narrower trimmed bottom profile for a clean, custom appearance
- Re-contoured top reduces wind turbulence and noise
- Smoke tint adds a custom aesthetic and reduces glare

This smaller than normal tinted windshield does not hide front end chrome too badly, directs wind away from face just enough and vision is not overly impaired. Very snug detacheable brackets.

Nice windshield for fit and function. Does a great job keeping the wind off your chest and allows for a windshield free look and feel. Some buffet above 50MPH but to be expected. Overall it is a great product and performs as it is designed to do.
