What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

You will have to try several windshields to see what You personally prefer.
I like the looks of stock windshields as well, and several of the other styles on different bikes, all disrupt the air too much for me, and cause my helmet to move around.
The stock sheild directs the air at my chest, and at 70-80mph cruising, helping to push me upright, and taking the slightest amount of weight off of my wrists.
You will also hear many people talk about needing double bubbles after a person is a certain height...which is Not true.
As body shape, torso length, helmet size and shape, and rider posture, as in how far forward you lean, or how upright you sit during the majority of your riding, all come into play.
If your head isn't blown about by the wind, chances are you'll prefer the stock sheild, but, it never hurts to try others(well, it only hurts your pocket, lol)

Shape and type of helmet is a good one...
My HJC is a high end carbon RPHA but the position of the top vent makes it unstable at high speeds to the point of being dangerous as it causes the helmet to "buzz" blurring vision...somebody in Korea was asleep the wheel when they designed that vent....
That's no good.
I've had helmets ovet the years that didn't like it when I turned my head to either side, as the wind would blow them around badly.
Fortunately Shoeis fit me well and don't move around unesacerily in the wind.
My previous HJC CL-19 was perfect, a very stable helmet, it aged out so I bought the RPHA never thinking about the top vent other than it works well cooling the head...
I finally found a good helmet replacement for my old Scorpions, a new Scorpion EXO420. Perfect shield operation, fog
free shield and a comfy fit. No change in turning head L to R. Can’t tell if the upper vent is open or closed though. 
I’ve never changed the OEM wind screen and I’ve always used a tankbag. No head wobble at speed with the wind. My bag isn’t as high as yours looks.

I took the bike in to get the suspension dialed in. My front was too soft and the rear to stiff. I think I went 4 turns in on the fork spring preload. The rear required the spring compressor to be nearly all the way backed out to get the correct sag. Rides pretty well now. Just need to get a 55 series rear tire and I think I'll be quite happy with it.
You're also very tall aren't you?
Just 6’ is all.
Took her out for lunch and errands. Think I’ll treat her to lunch tonight.
Pics of VMax??
I bought a full spectrum p10s. The 720cca one. Why not. Needed a new battery anyway.
Definitely miserable temps! I just bought a vented HWK summer jacket that I hope to try out tomorrow.I cleaned the spider webs off mine () started it, rode it around the neighborhood and topped off the gas tank. Pretty miserable temps in Florida.
Quite different here, I've just come in off a ride and I could see my breath on my visor.....I should have put my cold weather liner in my jacket.
It's a balmy 60'F out there right now and supposed to drop to in the 40's('F) tonight....
I’m wishing for cooler weather but still months away.
