I just installed the Puig racing windshield and it does reduce the wind on your body and reduce some on the helmet at highway speed.

I removed the lower fairing to test if wind would be a problem at leg area.
There were no wind problem at all even at 110 mph.

The engine seem to run much smoother after I moved the Timing Pick-up Module closer to the Timing Disc.
There was a gap of about 1/8" before, so I moved it until they almost touch each other.
I spun the timing disc around a few times just to make sure its not touching at any spot.
Sometime soon In the future, I will advance the timing to see if it make any difference.

Before, the neutral light would come on in neutral and in second gear.
So sometime I would release the clutch with the neutral light on, the bike pull forward, so I tap on the shifter and can feel the click into neutral then release the clutch again and bike stay put. So I removed the shifter and gear sensor, cleaned it and put back.
Now the neutral light doesn't come on any more it second gear. Shifting gear is also smoother than before. Guess that solved it.

Test rode it up to 110 mph and release throttle, I didn't want to go faster, will probably go faster if I had kept the throttle open longer.
The ride was smooth at all speed.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
