Default Through the looking Glass...

Does anyone actually look through their windshield while tucking at higher speeds? My friends on other sport bikes do this, but It's uncomfortable as hell for me on my F-2. Is it just me? I would assume that the shield is mostly there for aerodynamics. Or maybe its built for a rider smaller than me. I'm 5'-10" and 180 lbs. I have a feeling I'm a little on the big side for this bike.

Look at the pics of my bike in the photo gallery. Does the windshield look shorter than normal?

Looks normal to me. Same size I have. The only time I have a problem is seeing though it at night because of the reflection of the gauges. During the day no problem

At 6-4 and 280, you would look big on any bike!

6'2" and I never look through it, even at full tuck I'm looking over it.

Good idea to buff it out though with some cut-polish to eliminate all the hazing

I'm pretty much kissing my tank when I tuck...

...but can you look through the windshield comfortably?
