We're in the same boat...all stock suspension on mine. Gonna ride tonight with the fairing angled further back, and I'll bring an allen wrench with me to test angled forward too while I'm out. Unfortunately my headlight is the limiting factor on the tilt, so I only have a couple inches forward and back to test without fully adjusting headlight fit and everything. Will be able to further dive into it this weekend if the slight adjustments don't do the fix.

Finally a difference

Well...removing the windscreen would counteract the reason I got it....looks and, well, wind. Keeps a lot of wind off the chest, so there's much less fatigue especially at higher speeds.
That being said, I angled my fairing back as far as I could at it's current setup and put about 120 miles on it on Saturday. I was happy with it! A little buffeting at 80+ mph but nothing like some people have said about barely being able to see because their head is shaking around so much. I will try tilting the whole setup forward this week and see if I notice much difference, but overall I'm satisfied. I'm sure I will keep adjusting things like how the headlight sits in it and stuff to find the most ideal setup, but it's all good for now.

I called all the shops around Phoenix hoping they had different shields in stock that I could test to find what I like, but none of the shops has that option. Would have liked to try the vented option but I read mixed reviews, so decided to go with the solid. Now I’ll never know unless I find a buddy to switch just for testing haha
