    Had some buffeting of the helmet at 80 mph and similar wind noise to having the stock shield in place. After chow up in Banning (near the desert of California) I put the additional shield in place--the clear portion, effectively just turning it upwards from its locked place behind the smoke portion. It was a lot like the feeling I had back when I rode with the stock HD Softail Classic shield. Very enclosing and secure-feeling.

    Oh my, over-the-moon difference! I rode at 60 mph without my face shield down and could hear the music coming out of the radio! Toodled along a new-for-me road that took me through some awesome places, and all at 50-65 mph with NO WIND NOISE. None. Not a bit. Nada. Nyet. I'm riding with a 3/4 helmet right now, and it was so dinged quiet that I had to stand up on the pegs to feel if it was something crazy, or just how effective the shield was. It was the wind shield, definitely.

    Then, just to be sure, I headed back out to the freeway and smoked it up to 85 before I even knew it. Oops... Still, NO wind noise. I did put the face shield down because I could feel some wind drag on it. Still heard the tunes.
    My dog, who went along for the trip, approves of the new bike. He has his own "dog luggage" carrier that was in the passenger seat.

    I'm definitely glad I purchased the variable-height Baggershield.

    Elin,

    Do you see over the Baggershield when the clear portion is in the upright position? If I remember correctly, you are ~5'-4~ or so,,, You might be better-protected than others if you're looking through the shield vs over.

    I need more Test and tune time with my 'Stad,,, I have a long torso, a seat that rises me up an inch or so, and I'm w-i-d-e-r than most as well.

    Hard to tuck all that in behind any shield. (Like an elephant hiding behind a phone pole!!! LOL!!!)
