Keep your face shield down.  I find that the screen sends all flying insects right into my eyes.  On one long bit of NO-STOPPING roadway, I had a unknown type of bug fly into my helmet and crawl around inside for what seemed like a very long time. I have no idea what it was but it crawled into my ear and back out twice. Damn thing finally crawled out of my helmet and behind my sunglasses and then flew off.  

I find that the moment I realize I'm not alone inside my helmet, I open up my shield and the wind gust blows/sucks all foreign bodies out!..Just dont open your mouth if you have false teeth or temporary bridgework! :nuts:

Better yet, pull over.  :yikes:  I got a bee inside my helmet, or thought it was, and pulled over and let it out.  I don't like crawly things inside the helmet with me.

Well I tried it out, about 60 km this evening. Tested it up to 160 km/h and it definitely reduces the turbulence a lot and the noise a noticable amount (though less than I had hoped), also seems to push a lot more air to the sides and keeps more bugs from hitting me in the neck than the stock windscreen did.

That sounds about right to me.
