I bought the Yammie touring shield used last winter, with some skyway spacers thrown in the deal free. My bike didn't come with a foam seat and 13000 miles on the stocker it didn't make any difference. I installed the shield with the spacers Saturday and ran the bike for 100 miles through tight twisties to sweepers and 120 on a straightaway. I'm 6' 2." or so with long body (31 inch inseam).
My impressions: the shield with the spacers at lowest position will rub the fairing and I put a little painters tape to avoid rubbing, but I don't like it at the lowest position anyway. I may remove the spacers which lower the angle of the shield. Handling seemed the same as the stock shield. Some more flexion in the shield, but not bothersome. I can see over the shield easily, even at highest setting. Gas milage actually seems to have gone up a tiny bit (hard to be sure after so little testing), which may be from smoothing out the airflow. The good: My helmet buffeting has stopped and I have less neck pain (bad neck) with the touring shield. Noise appears to be about the same to me. A loud whistle at one position, but easily avoided. There is no "cone of silence" I could find. The wind hit my shoulders, but not bothersome and I enjoy the feel of movement anyway.
I need more time with it and I may take out the spacers, but first impressions are favorable except for the esthetic "barn door" look. The spacers do make the shield look smaller and a little more rakish. On long trips I think the touring shield will save some effort and mean longer mileage possible. On short blasts I prefer the stocker, but the larger shield is good.
If people can't find pics soon I'll put my stocker up against the tourer and snap a picture.
Just my initial impression.
