Frank,
Is it just me or are you sitting a little high in the saddle? When I
first had my seats made for my Bugeye the seat pads were a very dense
closed foam materail. I sat just like you with my eyes level with
the top of the windshield. After replacing the seat foam with a
softer one from (dare I say it...) Moss, I did not get any bugs on my
forehead anymore.

P.S. Truly a monumental achievement when you look at the before picture.
