I prefer to look over the top. I like the unrestricted view, and the wind doesn't batter my helmet.

RE: help in positioning windshield

I had a compact detachable for my Bob, I played with it up & down to get where it seemed ok, but still got a lot of helmut buffeting and with glasses was not real cool above 70. Just switched to the Touring and really like it, did away with almost all the buffeting. It is about 2" above my line of sight, so I look through it, they only disadvantage was in rain, as it took getting over 45 to have it start self cleaning from the air movement at the top of windshield, where with compact the only thing I had to clean was my face shield on 3/4 helmut. Everyone I talked to, said to make sure you had it a little below your line of sight or above.
