National Cycle's "Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic Challenge"
was a SMASH at 2008 Indianapolis Dealer Expo!

Part of our booth at the Indianapolis Dealer Expo, just before the doors opened to motorcycle dealers from all over the world. On the right is our "Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic Challenge", a specially constructed display that holds one polycarbonate windshield and one acrylic windshield... and one baseball bat!

A visiting dealer takes a whack at the polycarbonate screen (right) and strikes out. It just won't break! But one swing at the acrylic shield (left) and...

...the pieces go flying. By the end of the weekend, the bottom of the display (above) contained the jagged remnants of over 50 acrylic windshields. Not a single one could stand up to the Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic Challenge!

Broke Bat Mountain! This dealer was determined to break our windshield, but all he could do was break the bat. Polycarbonate strikes back! We didn't bring a spare polycarbonate windshield, but we should have brought a spare baseball bat.

Proud Shadow Aero Owner and His Cruiseliner Saddlebags

"I am a proud owner of a set of your great Cruiseliner bags. I painted them pearl white and silver to match my bike, a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero 750. The bike gets admiring looks from a large range of people. Even Harley riders stop and look. I feel that the bags set my bike apart from the rest. Thought you would like a couple of pics."
Ray Zupancic
Pueblo, Colorado

Thanks for the photos, Ray! You have a bike that you can certainly be proud of. We're glad that our Cruiseliner saddlebags look so good on your Shadow!

Readers: If you have photos of your bikes with our accessories, send them to us and we'll post them here for everyone to see.

Polycarbonate or Acrylic? YOU Decide!

Which manufacturer's windshield would you rather put on your highly engineered motorcycle? Is there a difference in impact resistance? Crack resistance? Scratch resistance?

We took some popular acrylic windshields and subjected them to a battery of tests. We performed the same tests on our hardcoated polycarbonate windshields. We literally threw everything we had at them!

The results may surprise you! See for yourself... then YOU decide!

You can watch the video, or download it to your desktop, from our News/Video page.
