Well it works for me. Windshields are so rider specific. To me it is not overly large and I can easily see over it, but I do need the spoiler in order to get the wind completely over head.
CalSci, of course, regards the spoiler as an abominationbut it works for me.
May I ask how tall you are? I'm 5'6" and I don't think I'd be seeing over that shield!
Sorry for the delay in reply. I am 6' tall w/ a 34" inseam. So you may be right. It is pretty comfortable for me to see over it. Mine is the sport model - overall height of 20" and a relative height of 12.5"

So the difference in torso height might be 2 inches or so. Is your line of sight 2 inches or more above the top of the shield?
It is. While I was out riding this afternoon I was thinking about my answer and I would say that rider @5'-6" would easily see over the 12" RH of the sport screen. I do have the MRA x-screen sport on my Cal-Sci and it is set about halfway above the top of the Cal-Sci. So it adds about another 2" to top line. I still see over that.
Thanks for the details. I'm surprised that that is the sport screen. It looks taller than what I'd imagine that screen to look like. I guess it is hard to tell from that photo. I think I'll be choosing between a CalSci and the ZTechnik VStream shields for the F750GS.

I have a Cee Bailey on a 2005 V-Strom 650, and that works extremely well. Unfortunately they're not doing motorcycle shields anymore.
I bought a F750GS on 01/31/2020 and living in north central Indiana, the weather can be finicky...at best! Last Sunday 02/23, my wife and I took the maiden voyage on the F750. She used to ride a R1200R but no longer rides due to the effects of the evil arthritis! Even though she was a pillion, she could tell the bike handled very well....which I have to agree as it is really a great handling bike! The 750 has the Akrapovic pipe from the factory and again, we both agreed it sounded awesome and she commented the sound reminded her of her R1200 as it had a full Remus system on it. Once I thoroughly read the owner's manual on all of the electronics capabilities and then wrap my feeble brain around all it, life should be good. The only changes so far are adding foam grip covers, a Puig 20" clear windshield, left-over tank bag / sheepskin seat cover...handguards and instrument screen shield are on the way. The next step is to figure out if I should go hard or soft luggage and a seat upgrade (need a bit more leg room and comfort)...we'll see. More to come as the miles mount on this so far great bike!
Ride quality is very good, and the electronic adjustments of the Premium package do as expected. The seat, however, is going to require a change or perhaps installation of gel padding. My ass is screaming by about 200 miles. Lots of time riding standing up.
I have 25XX miles on my 850GSA (Purchased in October 19) and I'll say the seat and for me, the foot pegs are problems. The seat is just tough to get comfortable with and I'm getting Russell Day Long to make me a seat. The pegs....I'm thinking of some lower pegs or the BMW adjustable ones. Just too much knee pain after about 90 miles.
In my commute, I consistently average 52mpg this winter.
Seats are a problem. If you decide on a RDL, post up the results if you can. I would like to have one on my F800GS. Kinda nervous on getting a long distance fitting.

I'll let you know. Seat was already sent in (although maybe I sent the wrong one in...I sent my low seat instead of the spare comfort seat that I have). You'll for sure get photos and an update on this.
