I have a slightly taller windshield on my 2000 I/S, but I still (used to) look over it. Over the summer we replaced the steering head bearings, so the full fairing came off. We also did fork seals/springs/etc., and the mods I made then raised the front end a bit.
Now when I'm riding, the edge of the windshield is in my line of sight and is causing a problem. I see three possibilities:
- I've gotten shorter.
- The front suspension work raised the front end so much that the the windscreen is higher relative to the seat and it's changed geometry that way
- When we put the fairing back on, we inadvertantly adjusted something.
I don't think #1 is probable.
#2 seems unlikely that it changed things that much, but it's possible.
I don't think there are that many adjustments in the fairing mounting brackets.
What do ya'll think?
