Sounds right to me, with the bug deflector simply being your visor. Certain days and times of the year that can be a real PITA, but usually it's a bug here or there. One time it was a yellow jacket up through the chin gap, and stuck in my face. Another time it was a yellow jacket that found the 1/4" fold in my full race leather suit at the back of the neck at 80 MPH, and his response to surviving all that was to sting me in the center of the back. Well played, but I live on, and he does not.
