I have an RC2 on my '14, and at 5'10" I think I'm the perfect wrong height for this screen. The wind blast off the screen seems to hit me just below the helmet, at the perfect wrong place. Quite a noisy racket, even with a snug fitting Shoei GT Air. My ride is much quieter without the RC2, but the RC2 looks so cool that I leave it on Tongue.

10.25". I think that falls right at the threshold of what you found to be acceptable for buffeting?

Yep right on the edge. Is it better if you straighten up or worse if you slump?

Pretty much yes to both. If I stand on the pegs, things are best. If I slump, it's worse until I'm in a tuck behind the screen, and then it's better.

I'm not chopping down my RC2 for anyone Tongue.
