    Have you thought of the Bagger Shield? I've got one and really like it. It gives you a lot more wind protection than the stock shorty when you only are using the tinted portion, plus you have the option to put up the clear section for a taller , let's say chilly highway cruising. I prefer to ride with just the tinted, it looks good and I like looking over the windshield. However, when it's cold , I appreciate and use the clear extension for the added wind protection.

    There are a lot of intermediate choices out there, but I hear you. Still contemplating a mod to the shorty I think might work. In the mean time, Clearview 11" does the trick for me. Still looks reasonably sporty and hurls the majority of the bugs over my head which was my main objection.

    Clearview for me!

    My new F6B is the sixth bike I have put a Clearview on. I went with the sport short windshield, sport width with light tint with the recurve. Great service and standard shipping still had it from Colorado to me in SoCal in two days. It eliminated 90% of the wind noise. I am happy with vol at 12 or so, at 70 mph and an open face 3/4 Bell Custom 500.

    I have a pair of glasses from a company called Wiley X. They have a line of glasses called "Climate Control" that have a removable seal that goes between your face and the glasses that seals out wind. They work great! My eyes always used to water, but the Wileys solved the problem.
