I had the 18" and the 22" screens and neither worked for me - terrible buffeting around my head. I'm 6'2" 31" inseam. I could get a nice quiet pocket if leaned really far forward but my head had to be practically touching the screen. It was very nice quality - just jot a good fit. I'm much...

I ordered the 18" but because I am 6'2" it was too short. I was thinking if trying to install the bracket in the upper position but as noted above it doesn't sit flush with the top if the base on the bike. The other issue is that the included bolts are too long if you use the top position...

I did get the 18". Shipping was quick and the whole set up is very nice. The mounting bracket is very sturdy and the shield looks very nice. However, I should have ordered the 22". The shield blocked the wind nicely but there was significant buffeting around with wind hitting me right at the...

Screw it - I was hoping to get a report before hand (fit and performance seem to be highly individual at any rate). The 22" seems just huge so I'm ordering the 18" one now. I'll report back with pics and impressions once I get it.

Any update on the windscreen it looks promising so I'd love to know how it's working.

Here's mine. We have dedicated spaces for motorcycle parking in the garage that's usually just for cars with "reserved" tags. A VIP must have been a rider at some point.

This was exactly the same decision I was wrestling with. I never had a chance to ride the Versys but could not be happier with the NC. I'm 6'2 and commute almost daily 40 miles round trip on the Mass pike. It's comfortable, calm, and steady for that - and plenty fun on the weekends. I'm...

You guys do realize that our NCs are essentially the Prius of motorcycles :) In Boston all drivers are d-bags so I can't correlate bad driving with a particular model. Glad your OK. (I have a Prius)

Previously I've only had center stands on small scooters and it was easy to put them up while still "sitting" on them. I tried like hell to do that on the NC with no success. Finally I did a youtube search (didn't save the links) and found quite a few good visual descriptions. Once I could see...

It would be a great beginner bike. I went from a 50cc scooter, to a TU250 for one year and 3500k miles, to my NC (2 weeks 300 miles). Love the NC - loved the TU too but could have skipped that in hindsight. Take a MSF course

What would be considered a reasonable cost to have the 600 mile service done at the dealership. When I signed the papers on mine the dealer said it was going to be $320 ("takes 3 hours to check every thing from top to bottom") but we was trying to sell me a prepaid service contract (I didn't...

I'm thinking of getting these. Frank didn't have any issues has of a couple of months ago - any update on how they are holding up? Thanks.

Not sure what I paid actually. No one around here was budging from MSRP on the 12's. My dealers fees are a little high at $460 - but - they have this crazy deal where you get 90% of purchase price on your trade if your trading up in CCs on bike you bought from them. I traded in my TU250 for...

I'm just about there myself- from Boston. Trading up from my first bike (a 250) and should have everything squared away within a week. Hoping winter will be done by then so I can ride home as well.
