I'm slowly getting my scooter ready for spring time.  I recently added a National Cycle Dakota 3.0 windshield.  Today was my first real test ride and I was pleasantly surprised.  I put on a fairly big one that measures 20.5 inches (high) x 18.3 inches wide.  It really blocks the wind quite well and is sturdy.  I got the same mpg as I did with the oem wind shield and didn't notice any deficiencies until I hit 75mph.  With the small windshield I could reach low 80s pretty easily and with the bigger one it really didn't want to go more than 75.  The other thing I noticed was once at a cruising speed it seemed to maintain it a bit easier.  

I'm 5'9" and I could still see over the top without any difficulties.  All in all pretty darn good, and I would recommend it if someone was looking for a new one.  They also sell one that is 3 inches shorter with the same width.  Incidentally, it cost me $137 on Amazon.



Also, I added a sheep skin cover as well.  This is quite nice and well worth the $80.



I thought someone might appreciate a review.  

Best regards,

Sure, I'm happy to help.  The protection is enormously better.  There is no air hitting your shoulders or head.  The price includes the hardware.  It was a little bit more difficult to put on as opposed the oem; but, not too bad.  I can make a make a suggestion two from my experience that would make it a breeze for you.  

Best regards,

Hopping across town, that shield sure won't be in the way. I dunno how such a big shield would hold the air and engine heat rolling slow.. but,at speed, I would expect the air Not beating on the chest, air Not buffeting the head and hearing,, I'd expect to ride further with less fatigue.
