Went to the track tonight with my new windshield,old one was yellowed scratched and crazed.First pass with the launch rev limiter at 3100 I got a .014 light,next pass set limiter at 3200 and got a .006.Next pass set it at 3300 and pushed tru the lights with a .000 reaction time so that doesnt really count but was a .000.last pass I went back to 3000 on the rev limiter and got a .021,so I think I am onto something here or was just lucky.New CLEAR windshield did help.Also ran my best 1/8th with a 7.232 at 92.44.Very happy with results and see hope of going a few rounds in the future.Guzzi Mark

New CLEAR windshield
You didn't mean NUCLEAR windsheild...it sounds like a glowing success...
with RAD results...

:lol:

Bad pun intended...on the street with a new windshield I have noticed things are much easier to spot and react to, and less eye strain is evident...

Looks like reaction time is better now that your can see the 'light'... :lol:

Kidding aside... good work on the R/Ts. Now see if you can go out there next week and do the same thing! Get some seat time with the new "process".

You had me worried there for a moment... :wink:

It sure looks like you have made good progress in getting that nut behind the steering wheel (the driver) "tightened-down". :lol:
