He's in 'Soudafrica' don't you know? Being below the equator has a mighty strange effect on things J/k...that does seem wierd..less satellites maybe ::014::

Yup, the water in the toilet swirls the opposite way. ::025::

.... If I can ride at 80 mph all day with a full camping kit and have power to pass when needed, I'm good! ........

Exactly, or maybe 85 at times .... plenty. Posted speed limits suck on the interstates, (I always thought Montana had the best speed limits) Take a plane if you need to be there sooner than that.

I am not as negative about OEM touring screen. For me it has worked out really well. Big reduction in buffeting and more wind protection. I am about 5'10". The smooth air flow strikes the top of my helmet and creates a really good suction of air through my helmet meaning I can ride with my visor fully closed in cold weather without fogging up. I'm pretty sure that it is about 1-1.5" or so taller than standard screen.

To answer the previous question I topped out at 203km/h with touring screen, wind deflectors and OEM panniers.

Not argueing, just look at this....both screens together.

Yeah, there must be some other dynamic at work...and you are a pretty big dude, so I'm sure that's also a factor. I know that people in the 5' 8 to 5' 10 range with normal torso lengh report a noticable reduction in buffeting when compared the stock screen. I will probably still opt for the CalSci if I decide I need another windshield, but, at present, it's not a pressing concern as the stock unit protects my 5' 8" frame pretty well.

OBTW, i had a question for you and almost forgot... When you did that video of yourself picking up the bike after laying it down in the lawn, what did you use for handholds? I well....er...had to pick mine up few days ago for the first time and ended-up levering it up with the lowside bar. Thank goodness for the built-in frame sliders!

I have never taken my bikes to the maximum speeds but the other day on one of the shortest freeways in California, the Marina or 90 freeway I had her up to 121 MPH indicated and it felt like there was more to go. I chickened out and slowed down but, wow-!!! Just saying ....
I am in love with my "Max"

That is surprising. Must all be in the lips to the side and/or screen angle. Appreciate the correction about screen height. By the way, I found the buffeting not good with the touring screen in highest position. Lowest and middle positions are good.

How sad is this. I have viewed the vids myself several times and still have no idea what I used as hand holds to pick it up. On two of the three pick ups, I had one hand on the handle bar but what the other hand was doing, I have no idea.
The only excuse I have is my age. I am currently about 2000 miles from the bike so cannot even try again.

Sorry
