if the shield is set right, none of that happens. The air, along with 99% of the bugs, is forced uo and over your face.

I bought a too tall shield. It was miserable. I went to a lower one. Look over it. Its better.

ya know it's that 1% that are those BIG mothers that come through that worry me , I bought a shield that is 4'' over stock and look through it , if need be I can look over , I put a piece of chrome edge trim around the outter edge and then in rain the rain blows up to that then off , it keeps the rain from rolling around to the inside of the shield , but sure hope I don't get a ticket for looking through it, some of these post make it sound like it is against the law , really it is all just a personal choise

Money well spent is buying a Clearview Shield. I bought one this weekend. They are reasonably priced windshields with Recurve. The recurve sends the wind over the top of your head. No buffeting. The windshield ends at or below your nose. I absolutely love my new Clearview Windshield. Check them out. You will not be disappointed!

I have heard this crap for years, 45 years. Guess what, a tall shield is where it's at. If you can't see through a shield , how will you see with the crap in your eyes.

Sit tall if need be. Never understood the "logic". Just my opinion.

If I want to look through a windscreen I will drive any of my cages. Never had enough crap on my visor that I couldn't see through.
