Yamaha Tall Screen XT

Has anyone seen or used a Yamaha tall screen for the XT. Ermax do a +10cm height screen but the Yamaha one seems taller.

What I don't want to find is that it creates more turbulence than being in the free air (with the standard one)! Any info anyone?

Ive the high screen and im 6ft4 and the wind hits me around my shoulders/neck when at 70mph. Its alot better than having nothing but if i where to be sitting at 70mph for a long distance i would maybe want something to take the pressure off my neck.

I'm 1.76m and have a GIVI screen think it's about the same size as the Yamaha one and the wind hits me on my nose

Thanks - I feel like a midget at a mere 5'11". Think I'll give Yamaha a call and find out how much they cost.

Yamaha original tall windscreen is fine. Even more, you will get 7-10 km/h more on top speed. Bike is more sensitive on strong wind.

Hi, just returned from 700 mile jaunt round northern france, I fitted the tall yamaha screen (50 odd quid) and it works SO well, found the bike almost unridable at 80mph with original small screen, this one gave me next to no turbulence. 50 quid well spent!
