The stock shield isn't bad but it could be improved. Also, if you're very tall, you may find the riding position just a little cramped.
The bike is perfect for me and my needs.

Hey, Thank you Wildman! 
Yeah, I'm not "very tall" at 5' 7"  thus the choice of a lower bike. Did a Borneo trip though (lots of pictures  on BMW sponsored bikes i.e the 650X-Country and a lowered seat 1200GS. Backside wasn't very happy. Is that an airhawk on your 800 seat? Looks comfortable even from the picture.
