Here are some pics of me holding the stock X windshield over my newly installed 'touring' (but i think it is an XT windshield).

Yes, the "touring" windshield is the XT windshield. It came out as an accessory, and then they made it standard on the XT.

Same piece.

Now I have put in about 200 miles of riding with the new windshield and so far I LOVE IT

With the X shield the wind would hit me from the bellybutton up. It was really hard to ride passed 65 Mph. I really had to hang-on to the grips and it was rather unpleasent.

With the XT shield, the wind hits me at shoulder level, and I have clean air for my head. Even, today's drive in, very gusty, was so much more pleaseant than what I was anticipating, having been used to the X shield.

I am 6'2" with 32" leg. I have gone upto 90Mph so far with the new shield and I remains very comfortable upto about 85-90, where the wind starts about the same as the X shield when riding at 60 mph.

Great buy!
