I have had and put thousands of miles on bikes with these type shields in every condition one can imagine and never noticed and adverse issues, no more than a frame mounted fairing.
Enlighten me my friend.

First, I don't care for the look.

Second, every person who has ridden with me while on bikes with very large handlebar or fork mounted shields or batwings has complained about them when we were riding in very gusty cross winds.  They would see my bike tracking in the lane while they were being blown all over. 

The first thing I did when I had a Vulcan Nomad and a Road King was remove the windscreen.  Way too much buffeting with a full face helmet. 

Maybe you are better at compensating for gusty cross winds than they were due to your extensive police force training.

SIR REAL ED:

Dan, the good news is when you're out cruising for chicks, you have an additional 80 pounds of weight carrying capacity now.

Don't forget the extra helmet......
