Windscreen for 6'2" rider

Hey all...I'm waiting on my T7 and want to upgrade the windscreen and I'm 6'2".  Suggestions?  I Live in Montana and will be using pavement to get to forest service roads for camping and fishing.  I don't see myself doing aggressive riding at first until I meet a group to ride with...safety in numbers and such!

Hi. I'm 6 ft 3 and have the Yamaha Rally seat and Yamaha bar risers as an intro.

 

It may sound counterintuitive, but I installed the Powerbronze sports screen which is shorter than the original and also a slightly different shape after @Aleksandar13recommend it to me. Aleks is also tall. 6ft 4 I think. I have to say that it's much better at reducing wind noise. The wind still hits me at the same area ie shoulder joint and chin area, but it's quieter and easier to ride at high speed than the standard screen. It's also better off road when you stand up as better unobstructed vision.

 

 


Powerbronze Adventure Sport Screens have a lower profile than the original part for a more "sporty look" - Made from 3mm...

 

Enoy the new bike. It's ace!

I am another example of Rich TT's case. At 6ft4 and the rally seat,  I installed the lower powerbronze sports screen and this makes things better. Not perfect, it's still not clean air, but better. Enough of an improvement that I would recommend you to go that route.
