    Good info and conversation , I have noticed if my head is in the wind my ears get to flapping and sounds remind me of the days when I put cardboard on my bicycle wheel . LOL

    I like the looks of a channeled frame at the firewall but wanted to sit low. I dropped the frame 4” at the rear of the body to get the seat lower. In my mock ups it seems like a good idea. I have a Sprit extended ‘23 body.

    I used my experience riding motorcycles to aid in my choice. The windshield is below chin level but still deflects wind and most bugs, so the T being about looks and testosterone as opposed to practicality, I elected to retain the short glass. Yea, I’m sure rain will be a buzz kill, but I won’t be intentionally driving in the rain. Like with my bikes, I’m a fair weather rider. I rode from Ohio to DC in the 18’ Rolling Thunder and it rained part way there and all the way back, even tornadoes in PA, lol... still fun but not something that I’m anxious to repeat, the rain part.
