Walt:
1)Ever wonder why most motorcycle racers are short?
2)At 6'2" you should have bought a BMW.
3)Even when I sit upright, my cheap HJC flip-up doesn't buffet like a real
Sportbike windshield did (03GSXR1000)or most anything else short of a
Goldwing or BMW R1150RT.
4)I don't think you'll find the stock shield any better, especially with the
bar risers. And don't even consider a FJR-1300 with adjustable shield. In
reading some of the stories, there is NO comfy position for THAT screen.

Seriously, I have the same setup as you, riser too, and can actually duck
under my ZG screen. I'm about 5'8" NOW!!! (see bike and me below-:)
