I helped design a Madstad Windshield system for mine, which is adjusable, up and down 3" plus tilt....

I'm really curious how the 13T sprocket is going to be once I install that this weekend.

After you install the 13T C/S sprocket, you will be able to use 6th gear.

On GPS that is 70 MPH, indicated 83.

My bike will regularly pull to 9200 RPM in 6th, indicated 97 MPH, GPS 85.

Using bikes odometer, it averaged 70.6 MPG (UK gallons).

Most of the time it could hold 8000 revs, although 1 day, due to the severe weather and the Mistral, I could not pull 8000 revs even in 4th gear, and was leaning over at 30 degrees going straight!

I didn't use any autoroutes.

I think the gearing is spot on and would only lower it for trail riding.

A slightly taller screen would be useful, too.

Back tyre completely knackered when I got home though, having done 3000 miles.

I hope this helps.
