Default RE: Through the looking Glass...

I saw some kid riding down the highway at like 60mph the other day in full tuck. Even that little fuc!er couldn't get low enough to look through the windshield on his bike.

Me, I'm 6-1 and ~270, so I normally see the front of my windshield. A full tuck for me is resting my gut on the tank. LOL I have noticed the difference in drag reduction if I even duck down a little at 50+ MPH vs how I normally sit. (my arms are long enough that I could almost sit straight up on the bike while riding.)

If you are doing 140MPH, then it would matter, if you are doing 75 down the highway, getting your head 3" lower isn't doing much.

I tucked at 75 the other morning on my way to work, but then again it was raining and was trying to stay as dry as possible.

I end up looking just over the screen on mine.

I tuck doing anything over 60MPH. Cuts down on helmet noise. I also look through the windscreen, except at night (the windscreen is dark smoke).

I've tried and tried and tried. But looking through the screen is just not working for me. And my screen is about 1" taller than the stock one!!

I can manage to look through the screen but it is very uncomfortable so I dont do it. I have to look over like the others are saying. I alway figured it would be easy to do for riders under 6' seems like everybody is looking over the screen no matter what size.
