If you are looking for a shield that takes away wind noise, this is not the one.
It relieves the pressure on your chest and makes riding much more comfortable. I still get a lot of wind on my helmet and it starts at nose level. I am 5'11' and wear a 3/4 helmet with a face shield if that helps.
I really like this shield. It does not take away from the looks of the bike and cuts through the wind with no trouble. On a recent windy 1,500 mile trip, my HD friends with fairings were getting blown around. I was not.
For some reason you cannot hear the engine at higher speeds. Without that engine noise you realize that the 900 is very highway capable without a Scootworks front pulley. The perception that the engine is over revving at 70 is due to the engine noise. I can cruise at 70 all day long (true GPS).
Pros:
Cuts down engine noise
Improved mileage slightly
Looks good
Relieves chest pressure
Cons:
Not a quick release type shield
Same or increased wind on the helmet
Will not keep you dry in the rain
Still get bugs on the face shield
