    2008 GS SM5 w tall windshield.jpg

    My 2008 GS SM5 had the tall windshield when I bought it 4 years ago. It keeps the wind from using my broad shoulders as a sail when I'm running at freeway speeds. Couldn't even think of riding without it in front of me. It doesn't "buffet" my ride at all.

    I had a GIVII tall screen on mine with normal ( not raised bars ) and it was terrible - changed to low sport one and the buffeting completely gone - even at 130kph on motorway. If the bars have been changed to raised ones like the RT then maybe the tall ones are ok as your riding position is further back
