Yet another windshield discussion

[Sny]

I had a 22" madstad which broke into 4 equal pieces in my wreck/rollover. The madstad brackets seem to have survived. This puts me in the position to try and do better, if that's possible.

I love feeling the wind but I can do without so much wind noise... don't much like wearing earplugs except on long rides.

I also prefer the look of small shields, but would like as much noise reduction as possible.

That all said, I'm trying to decide on which shield to use on the madstad brackets.

I'm 5'9" with SSL (StupidShortLegs) so I sit closer to the eye level of someone about 5'11". The 22" madstad worked fine but it was quite close to vertical...

I feel like trying the 18" but I don't like wasting money. Anyone tried the small shield? Or the 16" BRP Sport Touring shield drilled for madstad brackets?

Maybe a small shield with the right adjustment could satisfy...

Thoughts? Experiences? Poetry? Witty remarks?

My wife and I tried other shields on the Madstad brackets but never any smaller shields than the Madstad ones, only larger ones like F1. We didn't see any major benefits so we went aback to the Madstad shield. It's been so long since we did this I can't even remember any useful advice to give. :dontknow:

Witty remarks?

Buy low, sell high!

The more I think about it the less my question makes sense.

But thanks for the replies!
