Up or down?
Do you ride with your windshield up or down? Why?
-
Usually all the way down unless it's raining. I like the wind.

Down. Don't like to look through it, enjoy some wind in my face, and less wind resistance.

Both
I ride with it down when in town because the visibility is better. Out on the road when I'm at highway speed it is up. Keeps my dry eyes from completely drying out.

Neither!
2" down from eye level (top is about even with tip of nose).
WHY?
Because I'm old school and "that's the way, the way, the way, I like it

I don't want any bug splatters on my helmet.

Warm weather it is down for the air flow, rain or cold weather all the way up for less wind. Although, when it is all the way up I do get wind buffeting at the top of my helmet.
I may try a Laminar Lip to see if that will direct the air up and over my head.

i wear regular sunglasses so i ride with it up so the wind doesn't hit my face, if i am recording a video with the helmet cam i put it down

Depends..!
normal ryding down freeway up. Takes the wind pressure off. But then I have a short shield with a movable flip...

All the way up in cold weather or rain. I was riding with it up one position on dry warm days as it seams to deflect the bugs over my helmet. But just recently it will not stay in that position anymore it drops down. I will have to look at it. I t stays up in the full raised position.

down all the time. Don't like when it's up because wind buffeting caused by the holes in shield. Improves gas mileage as well
-
Down all the time except for when it is raining or under about 40 degrees.

Up/Down/Up/Down
My wife is about 5-6 inches shorter that me. When traveling we trade pilot duties about every tank refill. So our windshield is up an down a lot. For me at times I like the wind in my face and at times I don't. I am glad that the windshield is adjustable and I use it.

When temps are high, the windshield goes down. If I can't here the radio, I slow down.
