Very short or very tall, anything else will be a lot of noise.

All a shield needs to do is break the wind up to your chest. If you want more protection you have to get above eye level.

Some folks love windshields, but I've never yet been able to set one up so that it didn't become just a giant sail.

The only real way to get complete coverage from your windshield is to use those crazy large ones like the Harley guys. For this reason alone, I'm not a big fan.

I like the bug shield, for aesthetics and I like the long thin ones for moving the airflow at least just above my helmet, but you can't really have anything inbetween. I think that's why I just started to prefer no shield at all. It's a more pure riding experience, IMHO.
