Default Glare on your windshield

If I am certain it it going to be a nice day and I am only going on a day trip, unless the temps are cool I prefer to ride without my windshield. However, when I am on a trip the glare is most bothersome, especially at night with the reflection of my dash. I still have the original detachable shield but thinking about the LRS or some gradient styles I have seen on ebay.

One of my other major concerns and this is why I am asking, especially about the LRS is rain coming over the shield onto the back side. Their web site simply states the following:
The flip up is designed to stop buffeting and get the wind higher up and over the rider.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding the LRS. I am looking at getting a detachable fairing down the road but in the meantime I have quite a bit of scratches, pits and so forth on my shield.

I took my LRS off specifically because of glare. The "flip up" portion was right in my line of sight and was terrible to try to see through due to glare.

Even though it's not detachable I haven't notice any glare with my Windvest recurve. Does keep buffeting down to a minimum quite well.

STRO, How's life out there as a Motor?
