So im not sure but im debating on ditching my fairing. How much wind do you experience naked? I would assume its clean air so no buffeting. Any input is appreciated thanks!

Have you tried a windscreen cut way, WAY down? If not, simply remove your windscreen and take a test ride.
Does that alone make a big difference? Does anyone make tiny ones?
Yes it does! I'm not sure if anyone makes tiny ones, but you can buy one of the cheap ones on e-bay and cut it does. I used an old stock windscreen.
I currently have a Puig touring screen on my bike but just painted my stock one black. But I'll do a blast this weekend with none on there to see how it feels. Looks mean with the stock one all black though.
Got any pics of yours? How did you cut it?
Sure do. I used my angle grinder to remove the bulk of the excess. This windscreen was scuffed on the outside, so I coated it with plasti-dip. Otherwise, I would have painted the inside black. I have a CopperDawg windscreen now.

done both, i have windscreens now on all my bikes. its not bad under freeway speeds but anything above that is no bueno. especially after about an hour. after my rides my neck would hurt for days
The best way to know for me was to get a Copperdawg speed screen. His are less upright and more curved and you get the naked feel of more air on you but it is very smooth and with little buffeting. We should meet up and you can try my bike and know if that is the right choice for you.
You should just sell me your FZ and buy the FJR.... then I would have an excuse to go back to RI for a visit!
I like the C14 more lol!
What I really want is a Busa and C14 hahah
Hahaha! Ouch. I hope you framed that one.I had an 08 Blue Busa, I loved that damn bike but it was EVIL!!! So smooth and so fast! I had to sell it to save myself from it... The $714 performance award (100+ mph ticket) helped the decision making process!
