I have been experimenting with different positions of my backrest, and I noticed that the backrest caused me to sit a bit more upright. In fact, the top of the windshield crossed my vision line at about 40 feet out front. I liked this new view, since previously,I was looking thru too much of the windshield and the top line was hampering my view.
The downsideto this was that I found that at highway speeds, the top of my helmet was up in the slipstream and my head was being buffeted more than I like. I have a slipstreamer windshield, but I assume that this would happen with any windshield if you get too high. I am bringing myself down lower in increments to where I get a good compromise.(hopefully)
I think I have read where the windshields are a bit adjustable in height but have not investigated that yet. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
