I have a corbin seat. It does seem to lower you on the bike, just slightly, however due to its additional width, it did not bring the ground up much. Regarding the buffeting/noise, I only have to raise the shield about 2/3 to achieve nirvana...and I am still looking over the shield. Schweet! If necessary, I can raise it all the way and look through the shield instead of over it. Yesterday I went out for a short test ride with no helmet and a smoke just to check out the wind/shield situation. Yep...quiet and still as could be.
I do not yet have pics, but I can shoot some for ya if you would like, probably in a couple of days. I believe 'duff' has the same shield and has posted a couple pics. Try a search for his threads.

(a short person and loving it in this situation, however, if I drop the bike because I run out of leg before gravity is done with me, I will be bitching because the lord gave me good looks instead of height)
