Looks too tall and too vertical.

I agree, looks too tall and too vertical. I have to reiterate that the wee fairings available from BMW are really good. Mine is the "tall" screen. It is all of about 12" high, but it works like a dream keeping the pressure off my chest while allowing plenty of clean air to keep me comfortable here in hot South Florida.

I bought the factory "tall" screen and agree it takes the pressure off my chest, but does not give me the greater wind and rain protection I'm looking for. I'm in the process of adapting the Wunderlich Tall screen I used for years on my 2008 R1200R. So far the bottom has been re-drilled and attached to the "factory" mounts but I don't believe they have the strength to hold up a larger screen. So I'm having a bracket made for the top struts. I'll try to post pics in a few weeks.

Recently finished a 3000 mile ride with the old Wunderlich "tall" screen adapted to the new LC. It worked great! I also added my old Barkbuster hand guards and road in temps from 32F to 92F. I stayed comfortable the whole trip, with the addition of my Gerbings jacket in the cold. Still trying to post pics...

For some reason I think the R LC looks odd with any screen on. Could be the shape of the new headlight. The previous model suited a screen.
