6'5" tall and looking for a really tall windshield for the 2014 - any recs?

[bnschroder]

I love my new 2014 S10 ES but it could be a little less windy in the cockpit. I am 6'5" tall and despite a 36" inseam I stick out quite a bit over the stock windshield. Doesn't help that my Shark Evoline helmet isn't the quietest to start with.
Does anybody here have similar stats and found a windshield that is tall enough to hide behind? I didn't want to buy a BMW RT or LT but I love their shields.

I feel your pain, I'm 6'6".

I'm 6'6" and the Cal Science XL shield works on my 14. Its not as nicely finished as the stock shield and it has an annoying whistle, but it definitely improves buffeting. It puts the airflow just at the top of my helmet. Also, you can use the stock windshield height adjustment to lower it for the dirt. My last bike was a 07 1200RT and I still had to get a larger then stock shield to get the air off the face. Its surprising that the S10 is not bad with the larger shield.

I have the Calcsi and the Touratech adjustable bracket and have found an acceptable position. The screen needs to be raked back a little more than stock and this massively reduces buffeting.

Parabellum is the way to go. They offer any size you want. Ride with those guys all the time and they take pride in their shield.

Very fair pricing at $199 for a new shield that is 6.25 inches taller than stock. At 6'3"...I'm looking too.

Thanks for the recommendations. The CalSci does indeed look good and comes in really tall. I am wondering though if I should wait for the VStream for the 2014. Somehow I can't find any recommendations for those here on the forum. Wonder if that means they aren't all that great

Check out altrider they sell an adjustable windshield bracket that allows you to move the windshield up or down and forward and back. It allowed me to run the stock windshield. It is the best accessory I have put on mine. You can't beat the adjustability.

I'm 6'5"

Take a look at the Givi Airflow. Works great for me in combination with an adjustable bracket.

I too am 6'5". I have a 24 inch Parabellum with an MRA Xscreen on it and it is great. ::008::

 

[munsterlander]

I believe the Cal Sci is the tallest available for the '14, at least taller than most, including the Parabellum.
Also, Madstad now makes a bracket for the '14 that replaces the stock bracket, and the Madstad is more adjustable and for angle too, and easily adjusted with knobs.
This is the combo I am running and works pretty well combined with winglets.

 

[burnoil]

I'm 6'5" and a 36" inseam...running the MRA Vario Touring on a Madstad adjustable mount. Works pretty well.

Is your x-creen bolt on or with screws?

 

[TimLaw]

Does anyone have the 26 inch x-tall Parabellum windscreen? If so, please post a pic.

 

[klunsford]

I'm 6'2" and use a Madstad windshield bracket and a Vstream windshield. Works great during the winter time.

I'm in the 6'7" to 6'8" range and have the tallest Cal Sci and a Madstad. I do wish the Cal Sci was wider on the bottom but otherwise it is a great screen and the combo I have keeps the wind off of my helmet.

I had the stock side wind deflectors and switched to the Wild Wings and they are awesome!

I have the sport tour (21.25") V-Stream I'm 6' tall and am Very happy with mine. The Tour screen is 24.25" tall. Have mine at a lowered position to see over it. Unfortunately I have a 2013 and hear V-Stream does not have a shield for 2014's yet. (I wonder if one could use a 2013 and re-drill to fit).

 

[Magilla]

Neither, it is clamped on. Works great.

Bolt on is what I meant. Thanks. I contacted the place Parabellum or however it's spelled and for the '14, they do not make the 26 inch, the 24 inch is the tallest. For the '13's and below you can get it in 26".
