Bought bike in July. After test drive loved the handling of the bike but the shorty windshield had to go . It was way to loud for me. Had honda put on tall shield and drove it like that for a couple of months. Then decided to put shorty back on for the look because that's what I liked about the bike from the beginning. Looks sportier. Been driving with shorty for 2 weeks now and it feels lighter ( Idont know if that's the right word) It just seems to handle better. Maybe I'm just riding different with the sportier look. Almost all of my riding is on back roads between 45 and 55 mph. Torn between the two shields. But getting cold now so the tall one will be going back on for now.
