yeah I thought that lol and I might yet......... If i'm riding solo I don't stop except to fuel up ........ if i ride as a group we stop for coffee  ...... lunch etc (and i don't need it). I borrowed one last year and most of the time it's great except for moving the bike around the garage and short journeys I don't bother ...... longer journeys (more than an hour in the saddle) I did use it lol. 

There is a lowering link for the Fz1 I fitted one to my daughters bike a couple of years back.

claustrophobic probably means she was looking at the back of your lid all the time 

That’s pretty much it. Some photos from the back of the bike tended to include some of my shoulder, too, which detracted from the enjoyment of reviewing them

Gtr1400 has elec adjustable screen with an manual adjust vent 

 

If fully raised and vent closed ..the protection is amazing but you lose the environmental effects of riding ...ie the speedo lies compared to the wind buffeting .

 

You don't notice how much you are pulled into the void behind the screen until the vent is open.

 

Or to have that bit of realism screen on lowest and remember why they are nicknamed the ballistic sofa ...

 

 

I planned to do ironbutt a few years ago but bike issues scuppered that but i had my route planned as such

How does the GS compare to the FJR in terms of comfort? and also pillion comfort? 

I’ve had both the FJR and GS and the GS was way more comfortable than the FJR.
