Don't tempt me.
I bought a windscreen for my Shadow this winter for $100 US. I put it on, set it up like they say (so you can see over the top), and took it for a ride. Works well under 45-50, but at freeway speeds, it would buffet my helmet like crazy. So I tried to move it up, so the wind would go over my helmet. Ran out of adjustment room, as it was almost 5 inches above the headlight at the front.
Now, granted, I'm kind of a long waisted guy (5'11" with a 32" inseam), and this is on a Shadow with fairly low riding height. But I'm thinking I wasn't buffeted this bad when I rode with no windscreen. So, this weekend, if there's time, I'll take it off and see how that goes.
Just more data for the differential diagnosis (House MD reference).
