If I were buying new I would buy the Givi Airflow, not the 214DT, despite the cost difference.

I rode the bike to work today, 60-75 mph on the I-270 stretch, and the ride was "acceptable". The hot air (80+ degrees) seems to also help reduce turbulence and I had the Vetter vents removed from the 214DT. I did duck a little and leaned forward at the top end, but it was almost nice going down the highway at 60-65.

Oh, dropping the helmet face shield all the way down also helps - a lot.

I can't tell from the pics, but does the Airflow have any hand protection?

Just a quick update - I've been riding with the Vetter vents in the reverse position for over a month. I get the least buffeting with them in this position and turned so the air comes up at a 40 degree angle.

Up to 50 mph I can ride with my face shield up. ON the highway I am fine to 70 with the face shield down. When I get up to 80 I need to duck forward a bit more.

I am also getting used to riding and the buffeting, but the calm air sweet spot is definitely bigger with the Vetter vents in this position. Removing them results in two columns of air hitting me in the chest - nice on 100 degree days - but more helmet turbulence. Having them on "correctly" is better for rain but again the sweet spot is smaller.

If buying a new windshield I would go with the Airflow. For now this is an adequate fix for the DT214.

I've since changed my mind about the 214DT. I ran into one of those dust devils you see so often in Arizona. I had no way to avoid it as I was approaching it at about 90 mph and there was a semi in the other lane. Next thing I knew I was flying off into the median praying I wouldn't literally bite the dust! The wind picked me up and flung me about 30 feet to the left in an instant! Fortunately I was on one of those long sections of flat as a pancake median. The road, however was about 2 feet higher than the median and dropped off sharply. I had the presence of mind to realize that if I came to a complete stop I'd have trouble getting back up onto the road. So I slowed to about 60 and lept back up onto the road. The trucker was still there and looked at me like I was insane.

That was it for me. I bought a medium sized Clearview with vent the next day. I would like to add though that the 214DT would be fine back where I'm used to riding - Vermont. No dust devils there and the larger shield would be ideal for helping you to extend your riding season in the colder weather. I have long used a similar product from GIVI the 105 model on my SYM HD200 and it worked quite well for that there. I never had an issue with wind in Vermont although you certainly do get strong gusts there, but they don't commonly swirl like a mini tornado.
