CB more stable with Cut Down Shield

[CIP57_imp]

Its been a long time since I've had my shield off the bike. Weather has been nice this last past week and I've had it off for a few rides. I reported when i put it on that the bike felt more stable at speed ( 70 ) and the bike seemed to hold its line better.

This was all confirmed having been riding at least 5000mi with it on, it definitely puts more down pressure on the front end and lightens up the rear. The wind pressure with it off pushes your weight toward the back and with less down pressure on the front you really feel the e regular road condition straight up through the rear shocks. The bike holds its line through corners much better, and I'm amazed at how much more neutral it is with switchbacks.
Cheers
