Downsides to going naked?

[vinmansbrew]

I am finally getting the parts to go naked. I absolutely LOATHE the windshield on my fz. It is the worse freaking thing ever. A sheet of flat plexiglass would probably be better. All the stupid thing does is direct all the wind up TO my helmet. 70 mph is a horrible ride with my head bucking everywhere. Enough so I just about sold the bike.

I rode for years on my cb with no shield at all. I can say for certain that the buffeting from the crap-ass windshield is by far worse.

going naked is same until 100 km/s (60mph), and it's pita after 130km/s (78 mph). Because wind force is want to separate your arms from your body.

Guess I don't have that problem. I've done the ton on nakeds many times and never had that sensation or any difficulty holding the bars. I feel it is actually easier as the wind is constant and not the tremendous buffeting I now get.
