XJ600N 1999 Windshield

Hi all,

As my XJ600 is the naked version, I'm sure you can all imagine, that a ride on the Motorway at 80 odd miles an hour is not very comfortable. I've got the quietest helmet I could find (Schuberth) and I do own earplugs, but I always forget to take them with me... As it's also physically straining to have to fight the wind all the time, not to mention getting soaked even through my "waterproof" clothing (there is no escaping either wind or rain in Scotland, as the weather can change completely within 5 minutes!), I decided to get a windshield. Now I really like the look of my bike, so I don't want the faired original version, but rather one I can fit around my current headlight.
I looked mainly at the Puig ones, but not entirely sure about the model. I'm relatively tall (5'9") and so would prefer a taller screen as well. Does anyone have any experience with these windshields on a naked bike? Also, any other riders in Scotland know how bad it gets with midges during the summer, as I don't want to have to get off the bike every 20 minutes to clean the windshield...?

All advice appreciated!
