I sometimes run this 3 inch black shield I bought off Ebay called the "Razor". It cuts staight at the corners, not rounded. Looks kinda cool and was real cheap. It's like no windshield really.

No shield = No fun.

I put the KlockWerks 8 1/2" screen on and I like it. I wish it would be an inch taller. According to their website, the slopped screen "cleans" the air, moves it away from the rider, and also adds a little down-force to the fork at highway speeds.

I'm not that tall, 5' 9", this one comes up level to my chin.
