I ran the touring shield for 6 months without the visor (I didn't have it). Now, with the repaired bike, it is there, and I kinda like how it looks, (although V-Fred thinks it might be on backward). Of course, I like the looks of the bags as well, (being a 'Geezer Glider'). If it is on backward from how I have it (brow bointed forward), I can't see how you would notice it. I'll have to look at that this evening.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. No problems without it, and I can't see any difference - light on the shield-wise, with it. It may block a little of the air that slips through the hole between the shield and the light - especially as I have my shield all the way up. Here is a pic of the headlight.

Thats the detachable shield I have on the bike. It works good only with the lowers also shown in the photo (you can get a second opinion from V-Fred). The mounts do clamp on - If you slide them up, be sure to trim the bolts.
I have to think about the hooded lens. It looks like something out of War of the Worlds.
I'll eventually decide if I want to turn it around. Here is a frontal shot. (PS: I lost the flames - they were too.... something)

The clamps are two part, and are easily installed (but apparently a little fragile - I believe V-Fred broke one by overtightening). There is an updraft that comes below the shield, probably due to the angle of the shield, that dances the helmet (and my glasses) which is totally cured by the addition of the lowers.
And you are correct. The war of the worlds had a three part tri-color lens. I still kinda like the way it looks.
