I have a Slipstreamer S-00 Enterprise on my 82 CB750SC. Being a newbie rider (for a year now) I hadn't ridden another bike until this last weekend when I was visiting a buddy and rode his brand new Harley Fat Boy. Obviously it was quite a different experience, not only because it was Harley v Honda but because there is a 30 year gap in technologies. Anyhow, as pertinent to this thread, the Harley had a windshield that was comparable to mine in height, but did not cover my hands.
A couple of realizations I had: First, up by Green Bay, WI last weekend there were a LOT of bugs out that evening, and big ones! I definitely would have gotten smacked in the head and face had I not had the tall windshield. Second, the Enterprise covers your hands and the one on the Harley did not - it gave me a better appreciation of not having the wind agains your hands while driving, especially as it gets cooler in the evening and in colder weather. My windshield actually fits very well, other that the fact that it rests against the fuel tank when the wheel is cranked all the way to the left (e.g. when I park it). I have to be careful not to push the handlebars too far as it pushes the windshield slightly off-center, but not a real big deal.
