I hear ya about the cars - I was talking to our mechanic (wife was getting brakes done) today and he says you can't go wrong with honda or toyota cars. I had the same windshield on my 17 NC with no issues and now that I see others having the same issue on the 21's, I have to question the quality. I like to ride with my visor up, looking over the windshield, not riding in a wind tunnel and getting bugs in the face. Glad it works for you. Also have a honda motor lawnmower - 12 years old and starts first pull even after sitting all winter.Its a shame you are having issues with your bike. I have a 2021 NC 750x also ( my 13th Honda motorcycle since 1966) In the next 2 weeks I will turn over 38,000 so far trouble free miles while being ridden year round in every imaginable weather condition. Still on the stock seat, still on the stock footpegs, still on the stock battery. I do swap out the stock shield for a lower cut one in the summer, and a slightly larger Givi one for winter, but it bolts to the stock Honda windshield brackets and it has given me no issue. Been another great Honda motorcycle for me so far. The other bike in my garage right now is a 2014 Honda CB 1100 I bought new and have put 74,000 trouble free miles on.
As far as Honda cars, I think my wife and I have owned 3 Accords, 2 Civics, 1 CRV, 1 Ridgeline, and 1 Odyssey, we have driven over a 1 1/4 million miles combined with very few issues and nothing major. I know 2 of the Accords and the CRV were driven close to 300,000 miles each, both Civics over 200,000 each, and the Odyssey over 150,000 miles.... same motors, same trans, same clutches on the manual shift ones.
Can't imagine owning a car that isn't a Honda... although I would consider a Toyota.
Oh, I also have a Honda quad that has been a reliable snow removing workhorse going on 9 years now.
