I have a 1999 Honda ST1100 and the wind is beating me to death. I see other riders ride by on lower bikes i.e cruisers and they don''t seem to have the same problem. What modifications can I have done to reduce this. Riding seems to be like work.

Your bike is taller and will be effected by the head and crosswinds more than the lower bikes. changing the windshield to a lower one might help some but than the winds will be in your face. Its just the nature of the beast you own. I wish i had a better answer for you but unfortunatly there is no fix for you problem.Thanks...Chris
