    Default some help???

    Well I have a Madstad 22" on mine, some days are good some I'm getting a lot of buffeting. Why not try a clamp on extension on your current windshield??? If I were to purchase again would get the taller screen. I'm only 5'11" but I am sitting upright with the RT bars. FWIW

    Try the top extension first: it's the cheapest possible solution, and is worth a shot.

    I've just put an extension on the top of my 25" touring screen.
    I cut the top 4" off the oem '08 GS screen & bolted it to the top of the touring one with an air gap. As it was done this winter I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

    I would like to try a Madstad but don't have the $$$

    I ended up putting full size windshields (aftermarket), on both RS's that I owned. We then graduated to the more expensive Corbin fairings. They made the front ends look a bit "alien."
