[QUOTE="user 3386, post: 172499, member: 3386"] Painman: Great question and correct observation, IMHO. As a longtime Gold Winger, I can tell you that 70-80% of long distance road warriors prefer to look slightly above the touring windshield, not through it. Doing so creates the clearest vision of the road ahead, and should funnel most 55mph+ rain over the rider's helmet, although when it rains heavily, everything gets wet... With the Cal Sci Tall on my '06 FJR, at the top-most position, I'm looking an inch or two over the top edge...perfect. At the lowest position, I still get decent cooling air flow. (SoCal winter riding = Fieldsheer leathers. Summer = BMW Venting Machine armored mesh suit.) [/QUOTE]
