    I have the taller Givi touring windshield that I use in colder weather. It keeps much of my torso out of the breeze, but I do notice that turbulence at my helmet is pretty noisy.

    I'm 6'3" so shorter riders may not get the turbulence that I do...

    Givi and Zero Gravity double bubble and touring seem to be the most popular windshield in this group, I have the DB and like it. If you search, I think what youll find out is that shields are a personal taste item. One guy will like it, the next guy will hate it. A lot is related to a riders height and inseem and riding position bias.

    Good luck,

    I'm pretty partial to the Zero Gravity Double Bubble.
    It eliminates the beating you get from the stock shield and looks great. If you don't want to get wet or don't like your LATTE getting wind-blown while your ride, then get a touring screen. [​IMG]

    Here's the ZG on 5th gen. Dark smoke. Go light smoke if feel like you need to look through it while you ride.

    I buy through zgoutlet.com Hokey website, but it's ZG's manufacturing by my old house. They're trustworthy, despite the fact they're undercutting the shops they sell to and hide the fact that it's Zero Gravity selling these.

    But, I like a good deal like the next guy.
