To Windshield or not to Windshield

I like that Givi Aschem.

Uscgmac, why is looking though a windscreen bad? Not trying to start a fight, just looking for info.

I'm not Mac, but the conventional wisdom is that without a windshield wiper, rain or mud or some other substance could block your view of the road.

I experienced this a young rider. I'd bought a tall windshield for my Windjammer fairing and the first time I rode in the rain, I knew I'd made a mistake. Particularly when a car ahead of me hit a mud puddle. I was having to stand up to see where I was going.
