Ok, a month later...I've got a euro model Mike's shield. I'm 5'10" and the wind hits me at the middle of the helmet vs the center of my pecs with the OEM or ZG tinted shield(not double bubble). Still get wind noise due to this, but it is more aero. A light tuck and things do get more quiet. I'm a little worried about the Ms. however, as she'll be riding the bike soon.(just signed up for the rider course) and the top of the euro windscreen cuts presumably into her view. Not a prob for me however. I can see over it just fine, and it's not a bother. Mine fits well enough, not much manipulation getting it on. Doesn't fit quite as precisely as the oem or $89 Zero Gravity screen I had on there, but it works fine.

The Euro sport is not worth it IMO since it's not any taller than OEM, just a bit wider. The Euro however(which is what I have) is since it is 5" taller, but I'll be taking it off and selling it most likely so the wife can see clearly over the smaller screen. I'll add pics in a bit.
