I have the givi sheild ,. and it has hand protection, and 4 " higher over stock sheild ,. I have raised my seat 4" and moved the but stop back 5 ",. so with my 6 foot I am sitting and looking well over the sheild, my helmet is in the wind and getting bug splat, I am hard of hearing so the wind noise does not bother me,. I do not wear my hearing aids when I ride,. 5 years working on saber jets will do that to you, back in the early 50 s the air force did not give any one hearing protection,.
