Excellent value,

Pros: Works well
Cons: Not exactly the advertised size
"I unpacked/installed it under 1 hour. I am 6'-0" tall and it keeps the wind off my face. Just what I wanted, and the black portion on the bottom matches the black paint."

STREET SHIELD EX WINDSHIELD,
April 23, 2009
By Leetron
from Reno, NV
|
Pros: Flawless fit, quality item, looks great!
Cons: None
"I have an older 1979 Suzuki GS1000L, and was worried I wouldn't be able to find a QUALITY windshield. I was prepared to spend more $$$, but found the Street Shield EX was everything I wanted for less money. I will definitely recommend this product to my riding buddies!"

National Cycle Street Shield EX,
March 22, 2009
By matman189
from Stanville, KY
|
Pros: Very Please with the fit, looks and function
Cons: up right support ball and socket support a little difficult to install
"This way my second purchase of a wind shield through JCW. The first one was a dissappointment and I am sorry to say I had to send it back. But with the help of the online dialogue (Great Tool) I purchased the shieled that fits, looks and most importantly functions great on my Yamaha VStar. The next time I purchase anything from JCW I will use the Diaogie box provided.
I have a suggestion for anyone purchasing this item: Use a hair dryer on the sockett end on the wind shield for a short time. This will allow the ball on the supprt rod to easily pop in. Don't over heat!"

Frustrated,
December 30, 2008
By ACRanger
|
Pros: Looks good once on
Cons: Much harder than I expected
"This took the 2 of us a good 2 hours to install. 1st off, the Handlebars clamps are for both 1" and 7/8" bars. Yeah, right. For the 7/8 bars on the Honda Rebel, allow 5-7 wraps of electrician tape. The lower clamps take a while to figure out. Then there are the bars that go from the windscreen to the clamps. All 4 are very difficult to pop in, but easy, especially the lowers, to fall out. Plus, at least on the Rebel, they block out a good half of the turn signals."

Could be better,

Pros: Easy mount
Cons: Distortion around top preimeter of windshield
"The windshield is ok easy mount but the distortion drives me crazy you either have to hunker or raise above windshield to see road clearly, thinking about packing it up and sending back for another style."

Great Windshield For the Money,
October 24, 2008
By thealchemist12
from Atlanta
|
Pros: Good fit for universal shield, price
Cons: Cheap clamps for forks
"Bike: 1996 Honda Magna 750 with 1 inch handlebars.
I purchased this windshield because i felt it would keep the sporty lines of my bike. The handlebars on my bike are 1 inch in diameter.
***I had previously ordered the ZX019517 kit, but they came only with the 7/8 inch clamps which does not work with this bike. (The kit says they include both the 1 inch and 7/8 inch clamps but they do not)***
The installation directions need some improvement, but other than that it wasn't half bad.
Overall I really like the look of the bike with the windshield added. The windshield does help keep the cold arctic blasts of wind off my chest. Like many other shields however, you need to get the final adjustments and angle right to combat wind buffeting in the helmet area(I wear a full face helmet).
I may need to add a set of lowers as well to see if that helps."

Pros: Looks, material quality
Cons: Not shaped right for small bike
"I have a Honda Rebel 250. Although JCW lists this as a generic fit for this bike, it really doesn't fit well. The cutouts for the turn signals are more appropriate for a larger bike with a wider spread. With a bit of realignment of the signals and playing around with the fit of the windshield, it will serve its purpose, but not have a custom look. Materials overall were pretty good, although the lower supports don't seem very secure in the windshield. Installation is not difficult, but take your time, as the instructions are by design generic, and you'll need to figure the best alignment for your bike. The pipe clamps for the lower supports seemed cheesy at first, but make sense given the nature of the generic design. If you take time to think through how they will be on the front struts, you can come up with a pretty clean look. Overall happy with the purchase, but will look for a better fitting unit for a smaller bike next time around."
