I recently removed the risers from my bird...and added a set of Buell XB12 pegs.Aside from repositioning the shift lever a teensy bit,and lowering the rear brake pedal...it was a an experiment actually.Installed the stock screen back on as well.I have to say...it does feel more comfortable at speed and in the curves....more 'planted' and responsive...IDK HOW it would feel different as it does...but it does.Maybe the body position is more streamlined...I can't say.Maybe the foot position...being lower...that could be it.But I'll be staying with this for a while....the stock screen IMO actually IS more 'tuned' to the aerodynamics of the body.And I'm getting LESS windblast at speed with these changes.Just thought I'd share that...The turn in and all feels more precise,and she feels like she wants to lean in even more than before.

I wouldn't think that a 1-2 inch upward curved Windscreen edge would create a less stable performing bike...but it did.

What aftermarket screen were you using?

It's an MRA 'spoilerscreen'.It's not that it's...bad or anything...but I can definitely feel a smoother 'off the side torso lean' when turning.And the windblast really is less with my stock screen.I'm 6'1"...

Thanks, I'm debating between the MRA double bubble or touring. I'm leaning towards the double bubble. I don't think it would cause the same issue.

I've got that DB...it's a good screen...I don't like it as much as the stock one though.Same sort of deal...moves the windblast up a bit higher...but leaning off...not as solid feeling.IDK...the stock screen with stock bars configuration is very aerodynamic.That's my feelings on it.My suspension is set for a somewhat firmer ride...not harsh...but firmer.That may have something to do with the feel of the bike in curves...but the wind turbulence is still there with the aftermarket ones.The stocker feels like it's got a good even flow at the edges when leaned over the side there...and doesn't feel like it's fighting me.

Thanks for the feedback, may leave the stocker. I had a puig double bubble on my '09 and wasn't thrilled with it. I thought the MRA may be better designed.
