Taller Yamaha windscreen. Good protection but lack of wind force on chest caused more wrist pain on long rides. Put the stock screen back on.

There have been a number of good articles published about loud noise levels and fatigue. I find that when I forget to wear earplugs my endurance and enjoyment are both reduced considerably. I ride in the city and on freeways as little as possible. I want to live to ride another day.
