No problems in the rain,and I live in rain country.The TWR stabilizer has helped handling quite a bit and I highly encourage getting one.

no problems in the rain.... took my 06 to&nbsp\\;Fl last Feb &amp\\; hit 600 miles of rain.. coming back, however was a bit more dicey... it had snowed...
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;note to file.. take autotrain!
&nbsp\\;
I DO make it a practice to pull under an overpass if it just starts raining.. gives me a chance to put on the rain gear, but it also allows the rain to wash off any oil from the highway surface..I figure a 20 minute delay isn't that much.

How about with the Clearview recurve in the rain.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Anyone got one?
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I have the 8.5" Clearview with the recurve&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;and it works great. At any substantial speed , if you put your fingers up to the top edge of the shield you can't feel&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;any wind till you fingers get about two or three inches higher then that.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Seems to take the rain higher also.

Thanks for all the positive responses. I now can rest easy and ride till i get tired. Sounds like a aftermarket windshield is the way to go.
