2012 NC700S and NC700X Shield

[Folgrum]

Hey guys. I know a lot of you have an NC700X version and i have an NC700SA. my question is does anyone know or tried comparing and NC700S and NC700X windshield and see if you can mount one on the other? found a lot of ones for the X and very few for the S and i like the looks of the ones for the X. if anyone has tried i would be very appreciative!
Thank you!

That's a damn fine question.

I have an X and have not seen one after market screen that I like, I have however seen a couple for the S that I do like.

I don't think they're compatible. The bracket around the headlight is different on the S.

The mounts look to be a bit further apart on the X and a different angle....

Hi,

I also have an S version. They are not interchangeable at all!
I got an offer previously from the dealer for 250$, the only one that fits, is the X version's Honda OEM touring screen. But it needs a custom made adapter. Because this one has a U shaped mounting frame.

So finally I bought a : ERmax Touring-Screen Nc 700 S Light-Tinted 12- +20cm

Very nice design, great quality!
But it is a complete disaster, lots of wind noise and buffeting, totally useless. I'm 5.8" (175cm) tall, I guess, up to 170 or above 180 cms it might be better.
So I sold at once and put back the original one.

This is a naked bike... the D modell ( integra ) has very nice fairings and great windshield, but that is a scooter-type bike.

im about 6'2 so i feel the wind all the time and up here in Canada i it can be a bit chilly when near the water. i was tempted to go to a sheet cutters and just have them cut and bend a piece of the material and then mount it on the bike haha! also those are some nice shields although im looking for something at least 20' high

I'v been looking around on the web and think i found the best fit for me. http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/sc.7/category.10420/.f?range=11,20,20 it says CTX700N but also is for the NC700S they have lots of sizes the 22' made me smile, no more wind noise haha.

I have this windshield

from Cali Sci Honda NC700X NC700S Windshields

When I ordered he mistakenly sent me an X screen the first time. The mounting holes do not line up and the X screen has less curve to it, as well as a slightly different shape around the headlight. After contacting him with a pic, he immediately sent me the correct one and asked me to destroy the wrong one.

I turned the X screen into a trial horse, by drilling some new holes. That told me that it was too tall. So I drilled another set of holes to mount it lower. Still very noisy so I cut a couple of inches off the top. It was nice to have a disposable piece to practice drilling and cutting on. Turns out the plastic is quite tough and hard to damage.

In the end, I cut down the correct screen by 3 inches, and drilled two sets of mounting holes to lower it another inch and a half for summer use.

Your results will vary according to your size and tolerance to wind noise.

Man, that beast would catch the overhead power lines!

So the stock screen is noisy then? I have found no bikes with fairings that are not buffeting and noisy nightmares. Thus I have had a number of naked bikes. From and engineering perspective a screen needs to curve towards the rider at some point. A flat thing sitting out there will just create turbulence. Simple fluid mechanics of air molecules. How about no screen?

Not on an S, as it is quite small. On an X the noise level depends upon on how tall you are. I chose a bigger shield for my S to keep some of the cold air off me in the winter, and so I would not have to hang on the the bars so tightly at higher speeds, which is less of a problem on the X.
