Back when I just had to find out how fast a vehicle would go, I put a GL1000 into an ugly speed wobble that I was grateful to come out of unscathed. In defense of the bike, it probably had crap tires and was definitely not well maintained. Now, I wouldn't hesitate to ride the same bike but I'm...

I hope this doesn't turn into a helicoil thread. Sometimes, if it looks like things are going to go sideways, a reputable mechanic is the way to go. Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk

Yes I do. There are taller aftermarket windscreens available for fairly high $. I'm 6'2, so your results may vary I just did an iron butt with the stock screen, so it isn't that bad
