Windscreen options

[Ray]

As usual, thoughtful contribution from Grumpy.

At 6'3", I'm enjoying my used smoke Aeroflow medium sport. Aeroflow has a bunch of size options. At speed in the winter, inches make a difference. After our single digit spell last week, I'm tempted to go with a touring screen, but I was out yesterday in 60 deg F weather....

I'm quite comfortable with the wind hitting my helmet high on the visor while in neutral position. (Above the helmet when tucked a little, and lower when sitting up with arms more extended.)

Hi, I'm just poking around, doing some research and came across this thread. Now that you have a season under your belt, how do you feel about the Aeroflow/Med Sport? I'm 6'4", and it's great to see they have a variety of heights. Did you find the medium height good for you, meaning: could you find a relatively quiet space at highway speeds?

Perfect height for what I do - In the low position, I take the wind at shoulder level or just above, and in the high position it hits about two-thirds the way up my face shield. If I bend a little forward, the airflow runs over the helmet, I get that quiet space which, never having owned an R bike, I still find disconcerting as I can hear all the mechanical noises from the engine. The tall sport screen in the tall position would probably provide that quiet space in my usual position.

That said:
1. My torso is probably slightly shorter than yours, and I usually bend my arms and lean forward a little more than the average rider; you might want an extra 2 inches for a comparable experience.
2. I'm making an overdue pilgrimage on the bike to California this week. If they are open, I'll stop by Aeroflow and try out a couple more of their screens on the RS. Depending on how cold I get running the mountains in New Mexico on the way out, I might mount a medium touring windscreen with an extra 2.5 inches in height and an extra 4.5 inches in width over my current medium sport screen for the trip back.

I've reposted the numbers below to help my memory.
