What is your favorite touring windshield - Quiet, Year round comfort,  passenger benefits, and style?  Looking for a good all around shield that makes a quiet comfortable venue for driver and passenger.

Cee Bailey Ultra Tour for cold weather, works great. When it gets hot I go with my stock shield to get maximum air flow.

CalSci. Can't speak to passenger. Don't keep one.

I use the VStream year around, was not happy with the stock or CB Euro Tour. With the VS  all the way down, you can get plenty of air, up good protection...don't know about impact on passenger, as I ride alone. The shield does vibrate a lot at high speeds or when you are in the wake of a big truck, but that has not been a problem for me. At 6'0 feet I look over the VS, so I get right much wind noise into my helmet - I wear ear plugs to cut down on the noise.

Despite the negatives, I like the VS. However, if I was in the market, and since I have tried the CB and VS,  I would probably look a CalSci. A lot of forum members seem to like that one.

That looks nice.  8)  I'm perfectly happy with the size/shape of the stocker.  I'm not happy with how easily it got all scratched up (micro-scratches).  How's the scratch resistance of that one?

I've been reasonably careful with my windshield.  Alternately, I've cleaned the faceshield on my 3 year old helmet with just about anything I could get my hands on and it has no scratches at all, lol.

Cee Bailey Ultra Tour Dome for the winter and stock for summer. Good advise that I read from the Capt. last summer.
