I used to say the baffle was the cheapest piece of chrome you could buy from HD at $20, I see they are now $26

WileyX Rout glasses and Long Ride Shield with recurve work for me but on long trips, I use a full face but still use the WileyX glasses.

And at $26 it's still a good buy

The wobble of your glasses can only be fix with a new windscreen. But as far as glasses go, Wiley X all the way.

I'm on my second pair in 9 years. They are presciption so when the first pair broke and they no longer carried that frame Wiley X built me a brand new pair with new lenses at no cost!!! Definitely the kind of company that stands behind their product.

A couple of years back I took what I believe to be an 18 Wheeler size bolt off the left lense at 70 mph. It nearly knocked me off the bike but....not even a scratch to the lense.

I bought a pair of Oakley Wind Jackets and they are AWESOME.  Not a bit of wobble even at - and above - freeway speeds.  I could not be happier with them and highly recommend them.

Wiley X  For me also ,very good

I bought a pair of PanOptx (7 eye) glasses, the Charata (?) frames that have the foam inserts. They fit my face well and kept the wind out when I was wearing a 3/4 helmet. Now I have a modular helmet and don't use the inserts. But the glasses are the best I have tried, still use them on every ride.

I guess all things are subjective but here goes. As far as glasses go Liberty Sport makes the best glasses. Many different frame measurements so glasses actually fit your face. the foam is very hard like a gasket and is held in place with magnets. Photo senstive with vision correction. I've got oakleys, wiley, costa, and they are great glasses just dont work well on the bike.
As far as windscreens are concerned I have 6 or 7 and they all are good for something. Look good, slow speed high speed or something. but I have had my bagger shield on for over a year and love it. It is a 2 piece low piece is smoked and top piece is clear. let it low for bar hopping and putting around and put it up on the highway(no buffeting) or when its raining. It really looks great and works well.

Oakley's Wind Jackets have been the best I have ever used. I have loved them since I got them but was reading a thread on this forum a couple of weeks ago and they said that by using a strap, it would cut down on "buffeting". It didn't make sense to me but I tried it yesterday and I'll be dam--d, it actually worked. Really love them now! I went with the Transitions lenses so I can wear them day or night. See below

Man, these are some nice glasses!  I had the PanOptx 7eye jobbies for the last 5 years.  The foam was deteriorating on them, so it was time for something new.  I wear Oakleys Radars everywhere but on the bike where I need wind protection for my contacts and have always prefered the clarity of vision from the Oakleys over the PanOptx.  I also found the huge foam padding of the PanOptx blocks peripheral vision quite a bit.

200 miles yesterday with the new Oakley Wind Jackets and my contacts still felt fine, I had my peripheral vision back and clarity was better and colors were truer, too.  Also, the gasket on the Oakleys is rubber, not foam, so it should last longer.  I wish I'd known about these awhile ago!

I second Indenial, I also have had panoptx for about five years and love them

Several uears ago when I rode fast I was looking for a good set of sunglasses that would stay on when I turned around without a helmet or shield. I was told about a designer that worked for Oakley and went on his own to build Arnette, I bought a set that say ANET on the side. These are awesome, don't see them listed on the Sunglass Hut site, but they do sell the Arnette brand. Very nice sunglasses and at a resonable price. The ones I wear look similar to googles and have a frim wrap around ear piece. I was told also the lenses will take a beating, which they have proven to very well. I was also told the police department bike crew wear them for these reasons too. I have had them for over 10 years and have no scratches.
