I lane split in Oregon (pdx) if the traffic is at a standstill. I go about 5 MPH until it starts to move, then I get in a lane.

Very interesting thread a lot of information, not a lot of tall people who have really found a solution to the terrible stock windscreen. I tried lowering it and raising the seat to the highest position, to get the wind more on my chest. Worked terribly. So after reading all the posts ive narrowed it down to these options: 
1) CalSci Large
2) Parabellum Tall
 
Anyone around the height of 6'4" who can comment or say that either one of these screens worked best. Thank you!!!
 

If enough people try it, rear brake only with and without ABS activation, 40 mph, straight line, dry pavement, and all get the same results, it will be scientifically valid. If enough people try it, and results are not consistent, then we will have to refine the parameters. 
The single biggest factor we cannot control is rider skill, all the other factors are too minor to bother with. 
 
I watched some ABS videos, it would be nice to have a bike with out-riggers for safer testing.  But in those videos, on wet roads, the guys without ABS locked up brakes and never let go.  That is a completely poor riding technique.  It would have been a more realistic comparison if the guys without ABS tried to maintain control. 
 
I rarely have to ride in the rain, maybe once every 2 or 3 years, so I do not consider those tests valid for my riding condition.  I live in a city, even in the mountains, there are always other cars.  I cannot remember how many times I have had to hit the brakes hard to avoid accident with some car that pulled out in front of me.  Reducing braking distance on dry pavement is far more important to me than wet weather riding conditions.
