My '05 SM came w/ a summer screen from Triumph and I ride w/ a modular full face helmet. I'm 6'1" and I look way above the top of the shield. I experience minimum buffeting at head level and have complete chest protection, and can ride with the face shield up w/ sunglasses on w/o bothering my contact lenses. I'm beginning to suspect that for some reason the summer shield is actually more efficient than the roadster. I also like the minimalist style of a shield w/ no chrome straps across the shield. My only complaint is I can't hide behind it effectively when it rains.
