I am in the process of installing an original cafe fairing on my R100S. I don't have a windshield. I am 6'4" and particularly tall from waist up. I love the look of the stock windshield, but believe I will benefit from a taller one. Are there suggestions for tall versions (brands, etc.) that are functional and pleasing to the eye? Photo posts would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I tried a taller one on my S fairing years ago and almost immediately threw it away. The buffeting around my helmet was terrible.

Same here. I rode with a taller aftermarket shield (parabellum) that was on my /6 (S fairing) when I bought it. Bad handling, particularly in crosswinds and behind the big rigs. Replaced it with a Gustaffson stock bubble shield (Boxerkuh has the link to bikescreen above). Significantly better handling. Substantially less helmet buffeting. The wind tunnel guys knew what they were doing with this design.
