You're going to get plenty of bugs. Works to take the wind off your chest but that's about it. I have the national.

I've been riding behind windshields and fairings for almost 50 years now and the protection we get is a direct function of size! Wind takes the shortest route around anything we put in it's way and a small shield will give small protection. Buy what you like for looks, but protection will require something much more substantial. I have a qd touring style windshield for my Sporty, which is great up to 90mph, the most I normally ride at. I wouldn't bother with anything smaller.

Doing before and after testing, no doubt it relieves substantial pressure off of the chest. Air does strike at neck level but I do not experience buffeting. I do wear a full face most of the time. But with my 3/4 open face my glasses don't jump around either. Previously I had a LSR mustang windshield that worked quite well in the same way. Face shield still gets plenty of bugs. Wife has a substantially larger windshield on her iron, air just slides over top of helmet, but the updraft from underneath the windshield is bothersome.
