C14 Windscreen too small
I see a couple of oversize windscreens for the C14. Anybody suggest one that will work (no refitting required) and at the same time a bargain (I am a cheap bastard due to chromazones). I think I need about 3" more (don't go there). I'm 6'3" so I get alot of air on helmet all the time, requiring ear plugs.
Thanks,

I have the accessory shield on mine and it is only about 2 inches taller then stock. I am 5'10 and for it to go quiet, it must be all the way up. So that one may not work for you.

Agreed! I'm 6'3" as well and the stocker is WAY too short!!!

California Scientific and Cee Baileys both have good windshields. I have the Cal Sci shield and am satisfied with it. I am 6' and chose the +6" model. It seems to be perfect at about half way up. Fully extended there is no perceptible wind and I barely look over the top. You would probably be satisfied with either of these top quality products.

I can't wait until the weather goes back into the 50s and above so I can get rid of the tall windscreen. It is nice in very cold weather, but it takes too much away from the motorcycle experience. I may take the aftermarket shield and cut it down to 1" taller than stock and narrow it down proportionally. That will allow me to eliminate all wind noise (with my Arai helmet) and still get a good feeling when the shield is all the way down. The accessory shield flips out at the top causing a distorted view so cutting it will only leave a small portion of that.
