I’m really liking the National Cycle mid height VStream windshield I installed this week. I rode 280 miles today and find it much quieter than the stock from low speed to go-to-jail speed.. It's going to work well for me. I like to ride with my Neotech 2 face shield up in hot weather, and I am able to do that now with the shield in the 2nd and 3rd position from fully down. Previously those blasted air straight in my face while 3rd, 4th, and 5th battered my helmet. The VStream creates a nice relatively calm bubble of gentle wind at my head level with the windshield set at any position but fully down. It’s only .75” taller and 1.25” wider but the shape of and wider top corners have moved turbulence away from my helmet. When I took it out of the box the reverse curve of the lower corners and lack of vent holes sort of alarmed me. I thought wind would spill off the bottom corners and create turbulence/noise behind it but they do not. Surprisingly all the bug splatter today is oriented within 10 degrees of vertical even out along the edges from the bottom all the way to the top corners. For reference National Cycle makes three sizes and this one is the middle one. I'm 5' 5" normal torso dimensions and look over the top edge at all but the highest position.

Great post. I'm guessing you got the mid size version? If that's the case, I can't abide ANY tint in a windscreen. It should be available in clear as well but apparently isn't.
 
Thank you for this post. I am also looking for a new windshield and was going to create a post asking if anyone had tried the National Cycle VStream. What I didn't know prior to reading this was that there is a Medium and Tall size available. On Amazon, the description says the shield is clear, yet the picture, like the one you showed looks tinted.

Chuckskirst, if you don't mind sharing, what is it about a tinted shield that makes it a deal breaker for you? I'd like to avoid the purchase if there's something you can share that might resonate with me as well.

Amazon Link - No options for size :(
 
The Amazon link is for a NT700, not NT1100. National Cycle website https://www.nationalcycle.com/index.php/catalog/category/view/id/7840

The Mid height is a 26% tint, it is very light and hardly noticeable. No tint on the Tall height. I typically look over windshields not through them so tinted ones, and I’ve had them and have one now on my NC700 X, don’t impact visibility at all. That’s just me.
