THE WINDSHIELD CREATES A WIND TURBULENCE WHICH SEEMS TO MAKE THE FRONT END "LIFT". THE RESULT IS THAT THE RIDER DOESN'T GET A FIRM FEELING IN THE FRONT END WHICH MAKES CONTROLLING THE MOTORCYCLE DIFFICULT. THIS EFFECT IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN ANOTHER VAN OR TRUCK PASSES THE MOTORCYCLE. I HAVE BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAVE OWNED ABOUT 10 OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE THIS ONE AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE WHERE I'VE FACED THIS PROBLEM. THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE WITH THE WIND TURBULENCE AND "BOUYANCY" IS, IN MY OPINION, A SAFETY ISSUE.
