windshield choice?

Not exaclty.
My only response from them was: " We don't deal directly with customers. Please contact your nearest dealer."

Depending on what kind of mood I'm in, I may fire off a complaint after I get it all squared away.
Probably won't though, because it will take me a LOT more time to compose than it will take for them to commit it to the trash can.

You never know. If you do it tactfully, like I'm sure you will (?), you may even get a free replacement shield 'cause they don't want all the bad publicity of their products on this site and every other bike site on the web. Maybe they would authorize the dealer to send you another one because you are such a nice guy and really would like to endorse their product and their company, and how they stand by their products and support their customers. You can try.

Right, keep dreaming, those days are long gone.
Try it anyway.

I also have decided to get a National Cycle windshield too. I ordered it Monday and expect it soon.
I decided on the National Cycle N2561, light tint. I'll post a photo or two after it is installed. Still have not figured out which saddlebags to get. :??: This bike is coming together nicely. All I (we in Michigan) need is some warm weather and no more snow!

Even with gloves on, you'll stay much warmer if your hands are protected. That shield looks a little small to me. Check out the bike pictures here, do a search for windshields, you'll see many choices.

Heated grips are nice to have. Lynda's GZ had them and the M will get them too. Symtec heated grips are cheap and reliable.
