So I got a windshield off ebay for my heritage ($49) and slapped it on. After about 100 miles here are my observations.
PROS:
Much less wind pushing me off the seat on my chest
Relaxed hands
Cold morning commute, shield kept wind off my hands for the most part
Fewer bugs
Less road debris hitting me in the face
Higher speeds are more comfortable
Much less wind noise in 1/2 helmet
CONS:
Buffeting, but if I put my feet on top of the crash bar it mostly goes away
Wind gusts seem to move me around more
Hear engine "things" I never heard before (Paranoid?)
Doesn't look as "sporty"
Drive faster (if that is a con!)
No wind in the face feeling of riding.
For now, I think I will leave it on, at least for the commutes..
