    I saw a 3" taller windscreen at http://www.americansportbike.com/sho...1990q67a6399aq

    I know it limits top speed, but I'm not so interested in buzzing in the stratosphere anyway.

    Anybody know about this part? My concerns are for comfort over distance and noise. I find when I'm required to undertake a 120MPH sprint past a bunch of tractor trailers while wearing my halfshell and I have to fully tuck in, the noise past my ears is absolutely agonizing. Any feedback?

    Are you talikng about the screen that replaces the stocker? They also have a bolt on clear screen extension thats even taller and would probably fit your need better. It has high speed velcro so it can be removed easily for around town cruising. I cant remember where I saw that. Wait, you have the S or R? The one i'm talking about is for the S.

    It's an XB12R. And as far as the half shell goes, old habits die hard. I run 50/50 with my full face.

    I know of this company, Crossroads Industrial Services, that can custom assemble and package any plastic part. Someone should model one of these out and make em! Check their site at www.crossroadsindustrialservices.com:)

    It's hard to see in the photo. Is this the double bubble or the sport touring model?

    I am 6'2" and I find anything over 90 mph and my full face gets pulled up from the wind to the point where the chin strap gets uncomfortable.
