The newer style screen works so well that even after an 11+ hour freeway ride, my neck didn't even notice.
Noticed you wear a full face helmet also.
If you can wear a ball cap with those shields.
Without it blowing off then I’m sold.

Visually it looks good but from a safety standpoint a hard no.

I use the same windshield and I wear a FF helmet too. What's your point?

If that’s true I want one.
It's drastically reduced with this windscreen. If you compare it to stock, it's night and day. It also depends on your seating position, how tall you are, etc.

Why? I don't look through it. It's not tall enough. I see over the windscreen. Besides, looking through it is distorted anyways. It would be a different story if it was one of those tall windscreens that is in front of your face.

You can. I did that before I switched to FF helmet. No issues at all even on the highway.

The Klock Werks windshield is very good at deflecting wind, you look over it not through it, I fail to see the issue with painting it or wearing a FF while using that windshield. That wasn't the point of the thread. And yes, the windshield deflects the wind well enough the wind goes over your head, even on the highway.
