08/17/08 - F800ST Windshield question
I have an F800ST. When I bought it, it was a store demo and it came with a Ztechnics V-Stream windshield. This is supposed to be a great touring windshield, and it does an impresive job of creating an air pocket around my midsection. But for me, the windshield just isn't quite right.

UPDATE...UPDATE...UPDATE.....
Today I spoke with Herb at GrassRoots BMW (what a great guy). He seemed genuinely concerned about my problem and he promptly made arrangements for someone from the shop to come out and pick the bike up from my house. I am about 25 miles away, and they showed up around lunch time. They loaded the bike up and it is in the shop now. I called at about 3:30 and they had not diagnosed the probl...
