Its actually more of a preference if you want to look over or through the shield. I have had both on previous bikes and prefer to look just over the top. If you can sit on a bike that has a shield you look through and then on one you look over, you will probably decide right away which is more to your liking. Bruce
'06 America, Raask foot controls, the bike use to be Graphite and Silver, now its Red and Black.
