Missing The Fiz-Sometimes
I know that this topic has been beaten to death, but I’ve read the old posts and got so much conflicting information that I figured I’d try one more time with some more specific data about myself hoping that there is someone about my size that has some real experience.
I’m going to be keeping my FZ6 for at least another year or two and want to make it as much a comfortable ride as possible. Thanks to this forum, I'm shipping my seat off to Florida next week to be, "re-stuffed" (and saving $500 in the process), so hopefully my tail end will be happier this year.
I commute 90 miles to work (both ways) daily in moderate freeway conditions. We are pretty fast in Michigan with cruising speeds around 75 mph. I do wear earplugs, so noise isn’t an issue – my problem is vision (I wear contact lenses). At freeway speeds, I ride with the visor down and usually wear sunglasses during the day. It would be nice in the warmer months to be able to put the visor up occasionally (I know, that’s not the safest thing to do, but it cools you down nicely). The problem with this is that the wind blast is right in my face (I’m about 6’ 1”) and those contacts dry out almost instantly.
I don’t care where the wind blast finally hits me (preferably it wouldn’t , but I know that this is impossible), but I’d just like it out of my face. Is there anyone out there about my size with good experience?
Many thanks!
