Default Who actually gets low enough to look through their windscreen?

I have a few times and it still feels somewhat comfortable. Problem is that the bike I got has a tinted windscreen which makes it almost impossible to see through. I'm thinking about finding a stock one.

i do, and thats why im against getting a tinted screen (for me anyway). i have a 40 or so mile commute to work (thats one way). if its reeeeeeeeally cold or raining, i'll tuck down w/ my chin on the tank, feet on the passanger pegs and roll! it helps alot w/ cold air, and w/ keeping me dry for the most part.

for something as little as arching your back like that, i would look into it...disks might be pinching a nerve or something...you be surprised what a good pair of shoes or having good posture when sittin g in a chair would do...

my back and neck kill me when I get into a tuck... I try not to tuck too often, but if it's really cold/windy/raining, I'll get into a tuck.

I have tried tucking that low, but couldn't keep my head lifted up high enough to do any good.
