I have a 7 inch medium tint. I like it a lot better than stock. The wind coming in from the front of the bike goes up and over my head.
It seems that I have more buffeting since installing the LRS. Maybe not buffeting, but more wind coming up from under the fairing. I'm not sure if the shield has anything to do with this. But I didn't notice it being like this until I installed the shield. I'm wondering if I should go to an 8 or 9 inch.

I'm sure the vent in the fairing helps you out. I'll just cut a hole in my fairing lol. I did put some fairing wind deflectors on. Actually a 9" windscreen will come to about the upper lip and allow me to see over it. I also found out that when I took my half helmet off it actually decreased the buffeting by at least 50% or more. I still had the buffeting with a full face and 3/4 on with a shorter windshield on. But I was surprised how much less buffeting I had with no helmet at all.

I put those on about a week ago. They seem to restrict some of the air flow coming from around the tank. They are easy to put on and easy to open and close.
