    The top pic Well pretty much for looks,Guess could have function if at a track or ducking behind once moving down the hwy,(you need a shield height .

    The second could be of good use if made for bike there are many out there that can be bolted on like this all cycle catalogs carry them,There needs to be places of contact (1 clamp and 1 to stop vibration.(these also come wide to block hands can be nice in freezing wind)

     Thing to remember wind Shields fog up(bad /can't see) Get shield height accordantly ,may have to see over and don't repel water unless moving over 50 m.p.h.(so in town light to light your looking through beads of water) ALSO water falls from the sky(setting still or moving slow will get you soaked)your arms & shoulders mostly.

    Your going to spend 100 bucks or so for new 1 ,There great to have ,will spoil you once you know when & how to use,Detach ables are great but another 75 bucks or so.


    Farings are great and way to go if riding year-round in Mid-West,(me)once wiring and bracket is set takes about 20 minuts to take off but will not have light,This pic.has added lowers only my feet are in the wind & rain once I'm moving,I live out of town so it weorks great for me,back & forth to work(30min.)every day but leaving in heavy rain,AS I said once your moving Rain / cold is nothing Very well protected.

     The sporty type like top pic.have bracket that holds headlamp so can be removed,like my spring one here

I'm making this setup bigger and more usefull
