OEM Windshield vs Yamaha Tall windshield

[Frenchfries]

This is just to document the differences between the standard OEM windshield and the Tall windshield ref 23P-F83J0-V0

The first picture shows the bike with the standard OEM windshield (in high position).
The tall windshield is much larger (second picture). My experience is that for a 6ft / 1m80 guy, the tall screen in low position is a catastrophe, funneling the air flow directly in the eyes. The higher position is much better and with the side deflectors, provides a reasonably quiet environment. Not as quiet though as the windshield on a R1200GSA.
The higher windshield would gain with a more pronounced deflector on its upper edge. I don't know how to solve this at a reasonnable cost.
I hope this helps.

Use a laminar lip, about $90

Make your own out of lexan/polycarbonate. Very easy and cheap. I now have 5 or 6 different screens. Easy to change and range from off-road/summer steen to full touring screen. I have a topic on it her somewhere. If I find it I'll add a link.

Thanks for the comparison. Not a lot of difference there...

Answer for me was Cee Bailey's. Creates a nice quiet buffet free pocket that is very comfortable to ride. Also I have used the Parabellum with great success as well. I have the OEM tall and regular screens and both were not suitable for me. I am 6'1" for reference and I can use the seat in either high or low position without buffeting using the Cee Bailey.
