Default Windshields look through or over

If you have a shield do YOU look through or over?

Over. That's the "proper" way, although some here do say they ride looking through.

To look through the windshield when I'm sitting upright would require at least 6" more windshield.

edit: HD QD windshield not shown in sig

IT SHOULD BE at nose level looking over, ive heard an air baffle off the big touring bikes can be modified to fit a dyna and that takes out the buffeting.

The baffle helps..maybe a bit...once I put one on I didnt take it off....I also prefer to look just over the ws...:>)

I look over mine. Like Newhawk, it'd need to be several inches taller for me to see through. On my old scoot, I had a tall windshield. Looked through that one.

I look over, because it just feels like I see better that way!

I've got the 58346-06 QD compact shield and I've found that since I installed a 2" tank lift and added a fork bag about 6k miles ago that I have very little buffeting. Like Ronny says, it should be at nose level, looking over. The only time that hasn't worked is during a major rainstorm. Then I'll duck down a bit and look through the shield... or better yet, pull off the road.
