Windshield for tall rider?

[stig]

This is about the trickiest thing I've had to set up on my R.
I started with a Givi sceen that allowed me to just see over the top, this caused helmet buffering, then I went to a large fly screen style made by Visual Screens here in NZ. It was a whole lot lower but because it was quite straight up the air turbulence was cronic.
Finally I bought a tall sceen from Visual Screens and attacted it with my jigsaw. The plan was to cut it down bit by bit till the turbulence abated. First lesson was don't attact with jigsaw..major chipping and fractures. Bring on the hacksaw, took a couple more cuts and ended up with something close to perfect. Smoothed the cut edge with a mill file followed by a light buffing on a polishing wheel.
The screen is nice and wide finishing just abve the instrument cluster.

I will post a pic of it soon.

Well friends,
Santa Beemer brought an Aeroflow tall touring screen (they have a great sale going on in January) and I am thoroughly impressed with their product!
Quick shipping, quality throughout, extra parts, and the most complete intallation instructions I have ever seen! Screen went on in about an hour and the tank wings took another 20 minutes (mostly checking alignment and clearances). The ride, however, is sublime: smooth, quiet airflow, faceshield up or down, and great visibility over it. My problem now will be tickets as I have gotten used to the noise at speed ("Honest officer, I had no idea I was travelling at such a velocity")! I heartily recommend this investment to anyone wanting to get into still air on their R!
