What I'm trying to say is that I've never had the symptoms you describe. It may be simply that, at this early stage in your riding career, you're not relaxed enough. Just "flow with it", and perhaps you may not need the windshield. :2tup:

I will not ride without a shield.
I don't like the pressure and debris from the road and bugs.

The difference between your riding and mine.

I can leave the house and do a 175 mile ride without a stoplight and very few stop signs.
No rest from high speed wind.

Speeds tend to be much higher here in the States.
More distance between towns...people in a hurry.

55mph two lane and 60 or 65 4 lane. Interstate 70 and up.
Very few actually drive the limit...most are 5=10 over.

If you rarely go over 45 that's one thing but that doesn't work here.
Not many 45 mph roads where I live...I would get run over, so more speed.

YMMV
