Now swoop it up and over you head and make a roof and you'll be all set

Uh-huh.....nice, positive response. Lemme ask you a question - how many miles on your ride, and how long have you had it? We do a fair amount of traveling on ours - Texas to Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, etc. Having ridden several SS1000's, I've learned that while I enjoy the wind, it can also lead to fatique and/or impact with bugs or road debris. You may prefer the shorty's - which I would as well if I was primarily riding short hops. But when I intend ta swing a leg over the saddle and ride for 400-600 miles in one day, I'll take the extra protection the taller shield gives me!

I saw some Goldwings at Sturgis this year that had sheilds that came way, way back and it looked as if you could duck under if it was raining.

Hopefully you weren't offended by this....I was just razzin. I don't condemn anyone for anything that they do to their scoots especially if it means more riding time. Remember....I come in peace!!!
