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! Click a button below to watch the video and see for yourself... then YOU decide!

Peacemakers® Exhausts... the Movie!

Imagine being able to start up your v-twin cruiser for an early morning ride without angering your neighbors. Imagine enjoying a deep, powerful exhaust note without cringing whenever you pass a police officer or school zone.

National Cycle's Peacemakers® Exhausts make those dreams a reality!

Featuring AeroBaffle™ and Diverter Valve technology, Peacemakers Exhausts enable the rider to switch back and forth between a "loud mode" and a "quiet mode" on the fly. Be wild and enjoy the low throaty rumble locked inside your v-twin, but then flip the switch to tone it down when needed.

Peacemakers Exhausts are now available for Metric Cruisers! Click here for the latest news release.

National Cycle Beaded Heavy Duty™ Featured on
Limited Edition Custom Nostalgia Motorcycles

Rucker Performance Motorcycle Company and Bruce Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson have collaborated to recreate Nostalgia versions of Elvis Presley's 1957 Harley-Davidson® FL.

30 copies of the Nostalgia bike are being built, with details and accessories authentic to the original bike Elvis owned.

One of these authentic details is a National Cycle® Beaded Heavy Duty™ Windshield. But it is more than just authentic in appearance — it's authentic in fact. Elvis's own bike actually sported a Beaded Heavy Duty windshield made by none other than National Cycle.

We've been making the Beaded Heavy Duty windshield since 1940, but the original Pyralin material has now been replaced with tough, hardcoated Lexan® polycarbonate — another innovative first by National Cycle. So now you can have the classic look you want with the modern durability you need.

Write a few dozen #1 hit songs and in 50 years someone will make a nostalgia version of your bike. Or get your nostalgia right now — with a National Cycle Beaded Heavy Duty windshield!

Beaded Heavy Duty windshields are available with clear, blue or black lower windows, and with an optional vintage-style pointed top. Click here for more information.

National Cycle on New ESPN2 Series "Metric Revolution"!

National Cycle is featured in the "Tip of the Week" on four episodes of Metric Revolution: Motorcycle Build-Off , a reality-based motorcycle series which premieres March 31, 2007 on ESPN2 at 11:00AM EST (with an encore presentation weeknights at 5:00PM EST).

Multi Media Marketing and Production, Inc. (M3Pro) is bringing its unique and powerful brand of motorcycle reality to the American audience and doing so in a way enthusiasts have never experienced.

In the first "Tip of the Week" feature, National Cycle and M3Pro filmed four separate segments demonstrating how easy it is to convert a metric cruiser from a city bike to a touring bike (and back again) with the innovative SwitchBlade® Quick Release windshields and Paladin® QuickSet™ back rest systems manufactured by National Cycle. During this informative segment, riders will learn how the products are installed and about the quality of materials and workmanship that go into the manufacturing process.

The first episode showcases National Cycle's SwitchBlade windshields. Future "Tip of the Week" features will include National Cycle's Peacemakers® Exhausts, Out In Front™ – the first windshield integrated front end system, and the Paladin® QuickSet™ back rest and luggage rack system.
