1999 Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe

I just purchased my Honda this weekend. I want to practice and get comfortable on the bike before I buy the larger Honda Shadow. This little 600cc is just enough power for me to not feel overwhelmed. It doesn't have a windshield on it and I was wondering what size would be the best for the bike. I have a full face helmet, but a friend who rides a Honda Goldwing suggested it. I want one anyway. Any suggestions? The pipes have been customized to sound like a Harley, I think they called it jetting the pipes. May change those so I don't go deaf, otherwise wear ear plugs. All in all, it fits me and I really feel I will be able to ride comfortably. I will post pic when I bring it all the way home. It is parked at my daughter's house right now. Out truck was being fixed and used theirs. Unfortunately, they were sick and didn't want to ask them to drive all the way down to San Jose.
