Looked a little goofy for my tastes, but hoooly sheot was it functional.

100% dry with it up in driving rain.

Seems like you went with the really tall one, was there any airflow when you had it all the way down? Any buffeting?

No, but all the way down hit me right in the nose with the stock seat, it was eye level with teh Corbin.

Even with the +4 you have to put it up a tiny bit to have the wind "clear" your helmet, at least for me at 6'3".

YMMV

Knock off almost half a foot for lil' ol' me. Laughing

When I'm in town nice and slow I like to drop the shield so I can get some air.

Cee Bailey claims they are a little wider than OEM, anyone know how much? Is Parabellum also wider?
I have a piece of that Micro-Swirl edging, I used to have it on my R100RT and it made quite a differance, I thought about trying that, except I really didn't like that wide black strip in my vision path.
