on my 800 the air turbulence just seems like a lot (from the windshield).  It's a factory WS as far as I can tell.  This is my first bike, so I don't really know what to expect, but the wind turbulence seems to batter my helmet (and my head, in it) around a lot.  I raised the WS all the way up and it made it better (than most all the way down), but it's still bad at 60.  If I lean down behind the WS, it's a lot better.   I'm not a real tall guy (5'8), so I wouldn't think I'm "too tall" for the WS, but sitting in an upright position, I'm looking just barely above the WS.

I have a buddy who only rides with out a WS (Honda Shadow ACE), b/c he said he couldn't stand his wind turbulence.  Do I have to just live with it or can further adjustment make it more tolerable?  It seems like taking it off would just make a lot more wind turbulence but maybe I should think about taking it off?  I hate to lose my small WS bag on the bracket, as well.

Any advice would be appreciated.
