[QUOTE="Harald, post: 496932, member: 8054"] The stocker doesn't work for me because there's way to much buffeting in any position except down, at which point I'm getting major wind blast. The Vstream was the first shield I bought for my 07 and I really like it. Used it all last winter. For summer use I wanted something minimal in size, but that still offered the ability to smoothly block wind when up. I decided on a Cee Baileys windshield with stock width, but 2 inch added height and flip. The flip is key to smoothing air in my experience. Where the Vstream requires me to raise it up where I'm almost looking through it to get quiet, the Cee Bailey gets quiet well below that height. That flip really helps direct the airflow up over your head. I just reinstalled the Vstream before my SaddleSore 1000 ride last week and although it worked good, I'm now having second thoughts on it. I'm fairly certain that a Cee Bailey shield with 4 inches extra width and 4 inches extra height with flip would work much better than the Vstream of similar dimensions because you wouldn't need to raise it up as much to get that quiet zone. But I don't have $180 to spend on another shield, so I'm sticking with what I have for now. [/QUOTE]
