Its not a huge deal, but as I go over bumps, my vision goes from the very top of the windshield to barely over it, and back and forth. If I duck my head down an inch or two, I look straight through it, if I stick it up higher, I look over it.

This produces a very annoying effect of going in and out of the windshield, which shifts light, making things like theyre bouncing around because of the angle of light is different when going through the acrylic. If you look at the pictures above, the third picture is me sitting on the bike with it upright and me holding the camera approximately where my head would be while riding. The top of the ladder is about where my eyes would be looking if I was on the road.

Another thing I noticed is that since my head is even with the top of the windshield, my helmet is in the "buffeting zone". Its not noticeable at speeds below 50 mph, but at highway speeds, my head is basically vibrating from the wind. I havent done an A/B comparison, but I rode this bike for almost 2 months without a windshield and I dont remember this effect. I will post back with more info later, but honestly, the buffeting gave me a headache on a 1 hour ride last night.

Looks Great...I'm also 5'10" so I may go with the 19" fats...(don't wanna look Through the Windshield) I really just want to decrease the Wind noise...(yeah I Could wear Earplugs..but I don't wanna) Thanks for the insight and the Pics
