Honda Forza Scooter 300 (NSS300) - How To Change Windshield/Windscreen
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- This video shows how to access the 4 screws that hold the Honda Forza (NSS300) windshield in place. I changed mine from the standard factory windshield to the taller version. I drive the Forza to work through rural roads and get up to 60 MPH, the factory windscreen doesn't deflect enough of the air at those speeds.

I really love the look of the stock short screen but alas, no wind protection. I bought wind deflector for about $30 and used it on a short screen installed on my Burgman. During the hot Florida spring, summer, and fall, I remove the deflector and put up with the noise and buffeting. I really love your Forza videos. Very helpful.
@Jeffrey Hurst - This taller windshield does create a lot of buffeting for me as well, I'm around 6 feet 2 inches and can really feel that wind at the tip of my head. The air flow pattern is also not the greatest, the wind noise is more turbulent with the taller windshield vs the OEM. Makes me curious if the Givi version addresses this better than the Honda version. Anyway, thanks for watching and for the comment!
@@zooskifilms my needs for air flow are very different at 5’8”. I’m currently considering the Givi sport screen. There aren’t many options for the 2015 Forza. Ride safe.
@@jeffreyhurst9552 - Let us know how it works out of you pick one up. Cheers!
You my friend, are the man!!!! Its summer, i had to take that shield off, was boiling, now its off thanks to youre guide. Cant believe its so easy, THANK YOU!!
@smyrkaa - Haha, awesome! Glad to hear the video helped. Ride safe (and cool)!!
Thanks very much for taking the time to film and publish this. It made my Givi windshield replacement much easier!
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks. Changed the screen on mine following your instructions and it took me no longer than 15 minutes.
Great to hear, thanks for the comment!
Great video I had ours changed in 15 minutes, had no clue before I watched this thanks a big help!
@Bill Graham - A new record, congrats! Thanks for the comment, and glad the video helped!
Thank you for the video and the part number.
@lazypengu1n - Hey, you're welcome. Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Good to know!👍🏻 Best, Rola (Oregon)
@rolacook222 - You bet. Just one new comment: the taller windshield creates more turbulent air around the edges of the top part, so if your head/helmet is in that zone you will feel and hear it. It is the case for me and I will likely revert back to the OEM.
@@zooskifilms Appreciate knowing that, but @ 5’8” (& shrinking, being 76?), all of #150, I’m thinking I’d be good to go!👍🏻
@@rolacook222 - Yea for sure 👍!
Thanks for sharing guy, you really got smart bike. I love this model, note: not the new one 2018 (it doesn't look Forza at all.
Not a fan of the latest Forza's looks. The older one was more unique with its enormous headlights. I have the 15 and love it.
Agreed, I prefer the smoother lines of the older models. Not a fan of those side view mirrors sticking way out on the newer models!
Great video.
I'm 6'4", installed Givi D1123ST from a Honda "tall", and wind noise is still killing me.
Going to try a top deflector next.
I wonder if it wouldn't be better with the stock stubby and good ear plugs? Any comments WELCOMED
@DontPanic42 - Yeah unfortunately I have the same issue. The wind is very turbulent with these taller windscreens. I need to duck down a little to get out of the stream. My other Forza in Thailand has the stock windscreen and feels much better, much less turbulent but there is a steady pressure of air when riding. With a helmet on it feels better. Just not sure how much less wind noise there is. I didn’t pay attention. Hope this helps!
I'm considering installing a larger windscreen, yet was hoping to get some feedback. Anybody that has installed a larger windscreen, have you noticed a change in MPG or top speed?
I saw one person commented they noticed an increase in noise.
Not sure, but guessing the Forza is more aerodynamic with the smaller windscreen and while riding in a tucked position. But if not riding in a tucked position, I'm assuming the larger windscreen would be more aerodynamic.
Also I'm debating between the larger Honda windscreen and the even larger Givi D1123ST.
Any thoughts?
@@UCm3b-noLv_QvVeM7ADAG-Ww - Thanks for the comment and question, and my apologies for the delay in responding back. I haven't noticed any change in MPG, it's about the same and I did not test the top speed with the original windshield so not able to comment on that. But I did reach 87 mph with the taller windshield, I made another video which you can find in my Honda Forza playlist I set up on my channel. Regarding noise, there is a lot of noise from both the original and taller windshield. I am 6 feet 2 inches so my head still sticks up above the taller windshield slightly, I need to tuck my head down a little to be free from that noise. Certainly the original windshield is more aerodynamic if you tuck your head down, but I can't drive that low for very long. If I could do it again I would try to find an even larger windshield to cover my head during normal driving conditions. So if the Givi D1123ST is larger/taller in that respect I would go with the Givi. Hope this helps!
@@zooskifilms Very helpful. For now (while its summer), I plan on sticking with the tiny stock windscreen until it bothers me more (probably then temperatures drop in the fall). Then I'll need to decide between the large Honda windshield like you installed, or the even larger Givi.
I need help my tall windscreen on my 2015 forza is very loud, even at 25mph please help.
@Jason Tomica - I saw your comments on the other Forza video. I guess you mean loud as in having lots of wind noise on your microphone when you ride? I have the taller windshield because I wanted to deflect the wind from my head while riding. Actually, I still need to duck a little because I feel it on the top of my helmet.
Do you know where to go on how to replace the front side panels on this model? I cant find any links.
@problemslayer3538 - Sorry for the delay! This video has two parts, the first part is only checking the final drive level. I added fluid until it came out the overflow hole. That was not the drain hole. The second part was a complete drain and refill of fluid level. I do two parts based on the Forza maintenance schedule which states to change the fluid every two years, but I like to also check it once a year. Hope this helps!
I just ordered the Tall Windshield from Honda Online parts 2/4/21, it had not been available for some time.
Great! How’s the Forza treating you?
@@zooskifilms Hi, had to order the Tall Windshield from WEBikes Japan, March deliver date, still not available from Honda.The Forza is in my garage for the winter, keep a Dilonghi Oil fill Radiator next to it, keep it warm and the dampness away from it. Still have to take the Pennsylvania Motorcycle test. Now retired 72, after HS66 Marine Vietnam experience, then A.A.

@@CACTUS48 - Well I hope you’ve been able to still enjoy the Forza despite the license. Seems like you earned it! Stay in touch on the windshield too.
@@zooskifilms Hi, US Honda and Japan WEbike have canceled the Tall Windshield orders, not available, have to keep looking...
@@CACTUS48 - have you checked eBay? I saw some on there. Not sure if you’re comfortable buying from there. Perhaps an option for you.
Nice video but No japan motorcycle or scooter using Philip It's JSI japan industrial standard screws. It's different pitch to it which is why anyone whom trys to take out a stuck screw head wit Philip ends up damaging it . They look the same but aren't
@davk90 - Thanks for the comment. Yes, I had several people ask about or point that out. Definitely JIS. Thanks again!
Thanks a bunch. Have you had an issues with a stubborn seat that wouldn't close without a lot of pushing and wrestling?
@jemo951 - I have not, unless I've packed too much stuff in the luggage space, that's usually the only time. Do you think the hook is not lining up with the latch? Or latch won't grab the hook?
@@zooskifilms well the seat does sorta land crooked like the hinges are not real strong or aligned. Of course, the gas strut is also finished so I plan to replace that soon and that may contribute. I looked for some adjustment in the latch but it doesn't look like there is any wiggle room. Just got this yesterday and trying to work out the little wrinkles. :)
Where To Buy The Windshield ?????? Pls Advise...Thanks
@yusaini Ismail70 - Unfiounately I don't think you can purchase this windshield as new from Honda or one their dealers. I believe they are no longer manufactured. You may be able to find one used on eBay or other online auction sites. Otherwise Givi makes a good alternative: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-d1123st-windscreen-honda-forza-300-2013-2016?sku_id=958214 . Hope this helps!

The problem with the taller windscreen is that it's very loud with lots of wind noise!!!!
@Jason Tomica - Just went out on a ride without a helmet and man was that wind swirling around. Not so apparent when wearing a helmet!
I am looking at a 2016 Forza ABS how do you find the 1 cylinder 279 cc power, a 2 cylinder would be smoother power.
CACTUS48 - the single cylinder is quite good and smooth. For me it's very smooth if I compare to my other bike the BMW R1200GSA, of course not as much power as the GSA but for a 279cc engine it's quite good. I would definitely recommend a test drive before you purchase.
@@zooskifilms I have the 15 and it does not lack power imo.
cbr9927 - yes I agree. My comment was made as a comparison to my other 1200cc motor bike. The Forza drives very well and has great pickup in the lower speed range. You notice the difference at higher speeds.
you make it look easy ,i bet it aint hahaha .
crispernator - yes I practiced it a few times before video taping!
And you didnt break any parts well done .I think that is the biggest part of doing something like this is the chance of snapping something those little japanese guys know how to put these things together just right .
It was easy!
