Default Quick Detach Windshield

Can anyone tell me if they have any experience with the new HD quick detach windshield (PN 58346-06)?
I am 5'10" and want to know if this is like most of the other HD shields (usually suck, no adjustment and buffet like crazy).
I currently have a small sport shield now, but would like better coverage.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have one and I like it. I'm 5' 11". The only adjustment is about 2" on the fork tube. I keep mine at the bottom and I look over top of it. If I put it as high as possible I would be looking right at the very top of it.
The only buffeting I have noticed is when there is a cross wind. I pretty much stay close to the speed limit, if you are someone who likes to ride a little fater the buffeting may get worse.

Thanks for the info Blaster.
I like to look over the shield as well, not through it.
I often ride 75-80 MPH, but am encouraged by your experience.

i am the same height as you are and LOVE The shield... i like to look though my shields and not over them... but you can adjust where you put it on the forks so you can lower it or raise it!

Mine is the HD compact version.......looks more mid-sized to me but compact is what the MoCo calls it.

I prefer to look through my sheild..........easy enough to adjust up and down the forks......do get some buffeting though.
