my preference
Like many of the other posters, I'm a satisfied owner of a National Cycle Street Shield. My bike had a Triumph summer screen on it when I bought it, but the Plexiglas was all boogered up from a drop, and I couldn't bear that. It was too, too expensive to replace from Triumph, and I had a hard time finding one on eBay, so I went with the very reasonably priced Street Shield EX.
The looks of the original summer screen are, in my eyes, superior. But the Nat'l Cycle shield has these advantages:
1. Is adjustable.
2. Better aerodynamic characteristics at speed--i.e. no buffeting or adverse effect on handling.
3. Can be installed or removed in less than two minutes.
This last point is the real winner for me. I think the bike looks best with no windshield at all, so when I'm just going around in town, I leave it off. If I know I'm going to get on the highway, it's no big deal to install the shield.
