National Cycle N20068 Vstream windscreen

I just purchased the N20068 from a user on here and put it on my '22 ATAS a few days ago. I'm 5'11.5" with a 32" inseam.

The windshield in the low position blocks 90% of the wind and, when traveling on flat terrain, I can look over it fine, but when going uphill I'm looking through it slightly. When in the highest position, I'm fully looking through it and the only wind I feel is on my arms, with just a hint of a breeze hitting my chest and barely making it into my helmet.

I'm now looking for a short one to use for days with nice weather where I'd prefer more wind, but the N20068 is very nice for particularly cool mornings or particularly hot days, or for longer distance touring.


Btw, has anyone found the part numbers for the mounting bolts? I want an extra set to make swapping windscreens quicker.
 
Sorry all who tagged me, just checking this. I've not experienced any issues with my handguards hitting the screen. The lower "wings" of the screen don't extend further than the white body panel when it's all the way down. I'll check it tomorrow morning at each height adjustment, but I don't expect an issue.
 
So it appears that at what I'll call height adjustment level 4 (next from the highest positon) the OEM handguards just barely touch with less than 1mm left in the bars before "full lock". At level 5 (the highest position), the handguards touch and flex for an estimated 3-5mm.
 
I have almost exclusively used the screen in the lowest position, but I’ve only had it for a week or two. As the temperatures drop, I may raise it higher to remove some of the chill on my commute to and from work. The NC screen is taller than the 2022 ATAS screen and much wider at the top.

My previous bike was a CB1100, and at first, I felt the same. After a few screens of varying sizes, I went back to no screen and really preferred the “clean” uninterrupted air over trying to “fix” the oncoming air with aftermarket solutions. I feel like unless the bike was designed around a front fairing or screen, trying to add one bigger than something like a Dart flyscreen isn’t going to work in any meaningful way.
