broken windsheild

i got an 2001 R6 and when i do highchairs and come down hard i break the windshield! i'm on my second one and its starting to cost a lot of money. i love highchair wheelies and sure as hell dont want to stop. i have cut the sheild down to the braces on the sides and it still breaks them after a day of highchairs. i see some guys riding without windshield but i'm aftaid that i might break the break res. or the gauges. please help with any ideas you have or heard about!!

try doubling it up, or using a stock windscreen. do you have anything to brace the windscreen/upper?
