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!

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 National Cycle's 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!
