Cross country windscreen

I use the Plexistar 2 for long road trips and winter riding and it works great for me. I'm 5'8" and the way mine is mounted on my '13 CB, the turbulent air hits the top 1" of my helmet. That puts my torso and head in the calm air behind the shield at highway speeds. Very comfortable on long road trips. I especially like that coverage extends out to my hands.

You, being 4" taller might not have the same results. Depends on how much of that 4" is in your legs and how much is in your upper body. The Plexi 2 has quite a bit of adjustment in it to compensate. Mine sits right on the headlight and is raked back to just clear the gauges. If you look at the sample pic on the NC website, you'll see they can be mounted higher if needed or angled more vertically.

Bottom line, the Plexi 2 is a great full coverage, x-country shield for me. Hard to say if it would be the best one for you. The only other "big" shield I've seen on these bikes is the Slipstreamer S-00. I haven't used one, but I think someone else on the forum has one and could chime in.
i have plexi 2 on my cb i am 5 8 i see over the top by 4 inch and that screen at max fitment on bars i think the slip stream is 3 inch longer tham plexi i got a old wind shield of a bat wing i going to cut and drill and ad to my plezi 2 dam i miss my r1150rt some times when i hiway
