I don't actually know how dark the screen is...it was the only one available for my bike so I bought it.

Anything to get rid of the blue!

Even when I go into full tuck, my eyes are still just above the windscreen.

I get down to as far as i can with still being able to see out of the top of my eyes under to top part of my visor. Not necessarily on my tank though. My beer gut might kinda hinder me also though.

Son of a Bitch. While I was getting my tires changed tonight, a new problem with my bike was brought to my attention. When the guy before me had it, his torque wrench was superman. The bolts that hold the calipers were super-tightened and the threads were fucked up. He said the best he could do was 280 per caliper.

On my old Suzuki, I have to take off my right caliper to take off the wheel. And I always used a torque wrench to tighten it down. Yet I still stripped one of the aluminum threads in the caliper mounting hole.

After an hour or so of cussin, I called AAA Metric in Denver: http://www.aaametric.com/. They had the complete kit for installing a metric Heli Coil. By complete, I mean the right drill bit, the right tap, and a bunch of coils in a nice wooden box. That was about eight years ago, and the repair is probably stronger than the other threads.
