Wind protection is all about how tired you feel at the end of the day, and if the 10-wheeler in front of you throws a big rock towards you, it is better if it hits plastic before your eyes or skin.
I have a small windshield on my bike that protects my chest, and my arms get less tired from not constantly holding my chest up against the wind. The wind is not bad at all for a 30 miles trip, but it wears you out if you are doing 300 plus miles a day.
To me, the best aftermarket windshield companies are National Cycle for all bikes, and California Scientific for sport tourer replacement windshields.
