VStream and more
Leading manufacturer National Cycle has a number of windscreen upgrades available for the Kawasaki Z900RS. The company’ s dark tint F-Series F-18 complements the bike’ s dual instrument pods, while the classic Flyscreen( light or dark tint, chrome or black) and new-look Mohawk in dark tint and chrome or black add a lot of stylish retro flair. For practical wind protection National Cycle recommends its timeless Deflector Screen or the larger Street Shield- both available in clear or tint with U-Clamp mounts or easy on-and-off QuickSet mounts; or the Street Shield EX, available clear with included QuickSet mounting hardware. For serious wind protection or long-distance touring, the company says riders will appreciate the clear Plexistar with built-in lowers and hand deflectors with included QuickSet mount hardware. The company also has a range of new applications available for its popular VStream windscreens – the KTM 1290 SuperDuke GT, KTM 1290 Super Adventure / T, 2017-18 Kawasaki KLE650 / 1000 and the 2017-18 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom. VStream gets its name from its unique patented shape. The advanced ' V ' profile and dimensional contours push the wind vortex out and away from the rider ' s helmet, resulting in a peaceful, quiet riding environment. These VStream windscreens are made from tough
