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 windshield is engineered for Harley Softail riders seeking both protection and convenience. Crafted from 4.0mm Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate, this shield offers exceptional impact resistance for long-haul durability. Its quick-release design allows for tool-free removal, making it simple to switch between a shielded ride and a stripped-down look.

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.
