I have 5800 miles still have stock windshield on.
I think I am going to plasti Dip the short wind shield with black matte for a while until i decide what other shield I am going to purchase
I get tons of smooth clean air with the OEM shield. That's the good part!
Just not much for all the wind noise and the 'human parachute' effect,,
I love the stock shield, it just don't love me.
I'm another one who likes the short shield. It doesn't get too cold here so that doesn't become a problem.

I just got my bike today so cant really say from experience on this bike on the stock shield,but I love the way it looks, have always used short shields on my bikes or had them cut down. I like the song of the wind more than the radio but we'll see as time (and long miles) goes on.
I wear a full face helmet so not bothered by wind,rain or the occasional hail storm..
I am thinking to replace the stock clear with a darker shorty though .....excuse me, I need to go look in the garage again,be right back
