National Cycle Gladiator Windshield
After installing my mini apes, long rides at higher speeds (75-80 MPH) are pretty unbearable. I have some rides this summer that we will be going 200-300 miles on the slab before getting to new and better riding areas. I was looking for a little relief, this windshield looked ok so i gave it a shot. I don't like windshields but I'll give it a shot. What do you guys think?

Hey man, It is what it is....Looks ok, Hows it work for you ??? My personal experience is the turbulance they produce is worse than the wind blast. But thats me. My strategy is Protect my eyes, (Goggles) protect my ears (soft ear plugs) and Im comfortable. or a Full Face Helmet with Ear buds listening to music. ON the other hand I rarely do a 3 hour ride at 75 +

When my stock 10" apes go to black 14" Z apes i know that i'll need help with the wind at Hwy speeds and i really wanted to avoid windscreens until i saw the Gladiator. i'm really glad to see it on your bike and also glad it works to move the wind off the chest and will not block out the ape bars too

I like it a lot, I only install it for long multy day rides. It is very adjustable for height and angle, I found it to take a lot of the wind blast off of me when on the slab. I'm changing bars this winter so it looks like I will have to find a different option, but it works good just to get the wind blast off of you.

Anyone have further reviews on the National Cycle Gladiator windscreen? I am thinking of ordering one for my WideGlide. My head feels like it is going to get ripped off when over 95mph.
I have changed to an AGV Sports Modular helmet which is a big improvement in aerodynamic drag over my old Roof Boxxer V8, although surprisingly more noisy
But want to better still without looking like Poncherello.
