2022 KLR650 GEN 3 Windshield Comparison, National Cycle Vstream

[@danstromness5165]

Just purchased a 2022 KLR with a MEDIUM V-Stream already installed. Very impressed. I am 6'2"...so I took it up a notch and mounted it in the upper brackets. For me, it is perfection. No helmet buffeting at all.

[@anthonymalfino1]

You know man, I’ve rode em all too. Last was a Harley. I really appreciate this for a reason. Most excellent

[@1219magnum]

Wow sir, awesome vid! Comparing the three NC V Streams to the oem is brilliant! I'm 6'1" and am picking up my new KLR 650 Adventure in a few days and I already have the tall V Stream on hand to put on before I drive out the door. Thanx again for a job well done! Btw, beautiful quaint little town you live in. I love it!

[@genemalburg785]

Great review I’ll be getting the medium screen. Question though, can you also use screen riser brackets or are they not needed?

[@billylewis1666]

Thanks for taking the time to do this review. I ordered the tall and saved 10% with a veterans discount. I'll have it tomorrow. Can't wait

[@rideforveterans7653]

That is so good to here. I am absolutly positive you will love the VStream. I know I do. It really is a game changer, and National Cycle is a great veteran supportive Company. Thank you for your service sir. If you bet a chance check out my web site www.arcticadventure22.com 8 thousand miles in 22 days for veterans.

@@rideforveterans7653 I definitely will look closer at it tonight or tomorrow. Great cause 👏 👍

[@1219magnum]

Traded my Harley Road King for 2 Adventures, straight across, June '22, giving one to my son. We're both 6'1" so we got the National Cycle talls and the bracket in the high position. Best way to go. Shoots the wind clean over our head. In Jan '23 I got another KLR, the S model and also put a tall on it. Sitting upright, I can see over the top of the screen. If I slouch, I see right below the top which is no problem for me. Overall, the tall screens look really really cool and, for $150, are effective!

[@Texan_American]

A walk around to see what they look like on the bike would have been useful.

[@rollingstone3017]

Your favorite out of the three is the tallest one? Or did you like the medium as well.

[@ushighwaytruckview.3421]

I have never heard someone get so excited over a windshield! lol Great review though. I love my New KLR but wind is bad. I think i will go with the medium size, hope that works and i don't need the tall one; but i am sure it will make a big improvment. Great review

[@rideforveterans7653]

Lol, I am still excited....lol....that stupid OEM lookthrough joke they call a windshield only pixxxd ne off. I just got back from a 1300 mile trip with the tall and it was awesome. I hope you enjoy your wind screen it truly is a great windshield. Thanks for watching and dont forget to follow my journey to the Arctic in july. Www.arcticadventure22.com

[@sthawk01]

You mentioned that the mid length puts the wind way above your head. I'm 6'2", do you think the air would be over my head with the mid or should I just play it safe and get the Tall?

[@rideforveterans7653]

I think it would go right above or barley touch the top. You would not get any buffeting that's for sure. The tall certainly would put it over your head. Remember, in the video I have them in the highest setting on the KLR. Thanks for your comment.

[@jimdoolan2277]

Thank for that just ordered one a week ago the mid range one down here in new Zealand 🇳🇿 😀 great motorcycle Cheers

[@rideforveterans7653]

Thank you for watching. Enjoy my friend. Make sure to subscribe as in july inwill riding to the Arctic Circle on the KLR650.

[@marshall3498]

I tried the short tinted v stream on my 22 klr 650 and put the windshield bracket to the tall setting. I works great by it's making my aria xd4 peak on the helmet vibrate above 50 mph so I'm going to try the medium size next.

[@markcollins5026]

Man, national cycle, and on national backorder, N.F.G !

[@rideforveterans7653]

Sorry to hear that. This is a great product it doesn't suprise me they are having a hard time keeping up. Especially with the supply shortages right now.

[@rugby3874]

Best windshield on the market for the KLR. I have the middle hight on mine.

[@rideforveterans7653]

I agree. Love them

[@xnihilo1044]

An easy and cheap solution is a windshield riser and wind deflector. I’m 6’1” and using these two options are phenomenal. Cost was around $50.

[@rideforveterans7653]

True, but that doesn't channel the wind around your shoulders and it pretty much limits your adjusting capabilities. I love my vstream.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Bought a new KLR and put 5000+ miles on it then sold it. Just never felt safe or comfortable on it. At 500 pounds it was no fun riding off road.😖

[@tomgrenier7677]

Thanks!

[@crispinleslie]

Are you looking through the screen as you ride with the Mid Range - is it that big ?

[@rideforveterans7653]

I am 5'11 and no I look just over the top of it. Maybe 3 to 4 inches over it.

[@todd5052]

​@@rideforveterans7653 Good to know. I'm 5'9" and ordered the mid. I like to look over so I should be good with that one. Thanks for your review

[@KWlion]

were you using a chin camera?

[@rideforveterans7653]

No I have Sena 50C on the edge of my helmet. It is chin height

[@jimchapman8936]

Great review

[@thesweetlife3607]

Im about 6-2....do you think mid or tall size?

[@rideforveterans7653]

I would rec. Tall. The mid would work however it would allow wind to hit the top of your helmet. And I mean the top not in you face.

[@thesweetlife3607]

@@rideforveterans7653 Thanks for the reply. I have a 2022 KLR and I'm new to having a windshield on my bike. I definitely see a need to get some more wind protection. The reason I am considering the Mid is because I want to look over the screen and not through it. I'm thinking that might be the case with the High....but this will offer more wind protection. Any thoughts/advice? Appreciate it.

[@rideforveterans7653]

@@thesweetlife3607 yes, absolutly...in that case get the mid. It will be perfect...the high I feel will be right below your eye line, so that will be to close. I would say for sure get the mid size.

[@wlr3656]

Is it OK to look through it?

[@warrior4-u]

The way I sit, I end up looking thru mine about 2 inches or so below the top of it most of the time. There is no difference in my sight picture looking thru it verses looking over it. I couldn’t be happier with mine.

[@simonsutherland15]

Were you testing three n the upper position?

[@rideforveterans7653]

Yes I was

[@simonsutherland15]

@@rideforveterans7653 Thanks!

[@LandenBMS]

Is the oem screen adjustable? I just got my bike and haven't looked that closely at it. I was under the impression there was only one position for it...

[@NativeAspect]

@@LandenBMS There is a high and low position on the bracket that holds the windscreen. after this video i think i am going to get the tall windscreen and run it in the low position.

[@genemalburg785]

Sorry if I missed it, were you using the stock brackets?

[@KWlion]

How tall are you ?

[@robertflores8497]

do not change the factory windshield on your 2022 klr650 at max speed it will give you a death wobble and you may end up kissing the pavement

[@ChaseK004]

Explain

Mine didn't. Maybe you should check your tires
