Humans can adapt. You'll get used to it. Looking at it though, you must be 7' tall.

I usually ride around town with a 9" tinted shield on my Harley, it sends the airflow over my head, but you can still catch a bug or rock in the face now and then. I usually put the stock clear 12" shield on when traveling for multiple days. While there is very little threat of rain here, I usually get rained on when I venture to other states and the taller shield helps.

Victory means different things to different people.

That is until we start packing our bikes!!! You "E" shield guys need a good talking to! Chris is exempt as he rides a Vision..

I have a smoked 14" flip shield on my XCT that I see very comfortably over it and the calm pocket I'm sitting in allows me to have a lit cigar going without the ash blowing off of it!! I don't need no stinking "E" shield!!

As always, those who spend large sums of money on inferior products then become adept at rationalization and denial. You go BD!
