And don't forget Clearview - they make a good screen with mild recurve that will help direct the air a little better than stock.

I am 6"0" and added the tall HD shield to my RG. The stock shield had terrible buffeting at eye level, hard to keep your glasses on. Once I added the tall shield (19"??) things were much better. Wind is over my helmet now and I see over the shield most of the time. It made a very positive change for me.
