I had an RMC some time ago that had to be rebodied. The panel shop installed the windscreen at what appeared to be a very similar angle to yours. I asked them to lay it back by nearly 3" (to where it had previously sat) and the difference in wind noise and buffeting was amazing. It took a bit of work to make the adjustment, but for me it was well worth it.

If you like the current windscreen angle and don't have wind buffeting at the moment, kindly disregard all of the above...!
Craig, I was thinking the exact same thing, but didn't want to be the first to bring it up! IMHO, it would look so much better laid back as you suggest. I hate to say it, but it looks too much like a dune buggy screen atm.
