Just wondering if this is based on a direct comparison. I value your opinion - I'd just like to understand the difference (apart from the price).

 

Quick shipment, and looks to be a great product!!! Can't wait to give it a try!!!
Now if the snow would just melt.

 

Those of you that are considering shorter windshields should be aware that you will get more wind from the sides. This is because the shield from most if not all mfg. narrows more quickly from the sides than the taller windshields.
If you're not doing alot of time on the highway it's no bid deal. On long touring rides it can be iritating.
I bought a recurve that was 2 1/2" shorter and it was ok (marginal) for wind over the top but wind from the side was a bummer.
