Shields are good in Rain and Cold. But I HATE them trying to ride down a dirt road ... especially one with ruts where reading the terrain is crucial.
But when it's below freezing or raining, tucking in behind a nice shield is good.
But do you want a big "barn door" style shield on that little bike? Some like it.
I saw this in Thailand. If the shield is optically perfect then you can see through it pretty good. If not ... it's like riding on LSD.
(l like LSD)
I also am not fond of a shield in HOT weather as it blocks cooling air.
On the DR650, guys buy the cheap National Cycle Shields and take them off and carry them off road, bolt them back on when needed. It's very quick and simple on some shields.
