RE: Take that wind!
Glad I went with the street shield. It really keeps the wind off, just a little drag on the helmet but that's not surprising. So far, it's a thumbs-up for me. Smile

Just wanted to say I've installed the Street Shield also and it works fine. Tried out a Deflector I had and wasn't really OK with it. Street Shield mounts solid and fits in with the CBs style

Thanks

I have the same screen on order, but I am not putting those hose clamps on my forks without something to keep them from chafing against the metal. I am thinking a nice layer of Gorilla Duct Tape around the fork, then apply the hose clamp would protect them very well. Either that or a piece of thin brass shim. It does look ideal for the bike.

RE: Take that wind!
DangerGirl,

I cannot thank you enough for posting those excellent pictures of your installation. I got my shield today, and after reading the directions twice I still did not have clue. Your photos made it possible for me to figure out the angles and the assembly perfectly.

National Cycle ought to be giving you a free "something" for the service you have provided your fellow bikers.Smile

Jim.
