So I finally rotated the risers for the more forward position and I installed flushmount front turn signals. Since I had the more forward position I decided to put the old windscreen on and take off the giant sail of a screen I have had on for over a year now.
I have to say, the body position is still not forward enough for me for long highway stretches. Certainly at 75 mph and lower, it is perfectly fine, but I commute some on the bike and anything over 75 mph still has too strong a windblast for me in the upper body. Leaning forward a bit does indeed relieve it, but the bars are just not positioned enough forward for me for it to be natural.
I am happy too have the giant windscreen off and I will be keeping it off for a while, but I will be looking for a new alternative. Maybe V-Stream will make a screen for us soon!!
I am loving the look of the flushmounts and I still love this bike!! Not sure I desire a more forward lean than I have now....just a slightly larger windscreen.
The helmet noise and buffeting is however much reduced since there is not a direct blast just to the helmet. I am close to perfectly happy (if ever possible), but not quite there.
