I'm 5'10" and with the Klock Werks windshield the air hits right at the top of my helmet. A lot quieter than the stock shield and you look right over the top of it. I would say it's more of a regular wind noise now. You can hear the radio a whole lot better now too. I was only able to put about 20 miles in with the new shield on before the cold front hit and headed back home. I'm really happy with the improvement the Klock Werks shield gave me.
