Tall windscreen for K1200RS?

[Mama1200]

I own an 2003 K1200RS and after spending a great summer on it and 18,100miles I have learned to hate the factory windscreen. What success has anyone on here had with taller windscreens? Brands?
I am 6'3" so any of you other tall riders that have found a solution to the buffeting please let me know.

i'm 6'5" and put a laminar lip on my national cycle windscreen on my otherwise clean K75. works pretty well. Not only moves the fast air up over my helmet for the most part, but "calmed down the stream" for lack of a better way to put it.

I know you have different bike, and other advice might be more appropriate but this will get you started. FWIW.

I am 6', 33 inch inseam, 180 lbs. I have a Tall Aeroflow on my 2000, I assume they make a similar one for the later models. I have it in the low position most of the time as my Corbin sets me about mid point between high and low seat position of the stock seat. I put it up to high position only for freeway riding. I really like the coverage and protection. I think a tall might work for you even with your seat in the upper spot, unless you have bar backs or something to make you sit more upright. Your longer arms probably do enough of that as it is. But, it is possible a tall Aeroflow with a lip might do what you need. Just trying the tall Aeroflow will amaze you compared to stock, and is waaaay better than the 'Comfort' screen. My buddy has a Parabellum he really likes on his '04 GT with bar-backs, he is same height and inseam as me and rides with his seat in the high setting.

I have looked at those online but want to hear from a few riders. I too am running a Corbin seat (thank you previous owner with deep pockets!)
Currently I run the handle bars at the full back position to sit more upright. I find with the bars forward it creates too much wrist strain and discomfort at the slower revenue generating speed limits on some roads.

I (6'2") had a tall Aeroflow on my K1200Rs for a spell. I hated it, so I removed and sold it. I have tried about every windshield available for this motorcycle; the best compromise I have found is the Z-Technik tall shield.

You are the first 6 ft+ person I have read saying the Aeroflow did not work.

Hi,I am 6'.2004 GT,stock screen(adjusts up and down) and laminar lip.I find that combination does what I like.In heavy rain,screen all the way up,duck behind,keeps it off my face.
The turbulence is mostly over my head with that setup.

I have a 02 K1200rs and installed a GT shield, it works great for me.

Oddly, I like the stock windshield. When I first demoed the KRS, coming off a Concours, I thought it was a raging disaster and headed back after only about five miles. I rode an RT (didn't like that, either), went back to the KRS, and 45 miles later, I bought the bike. Even temps currently in the 20-40F range, I'm good with the stock windshield in the down position. I have a Schuberth S-1 helmet, Olympic jacket with an Aerostich heated liner, and it works out just fine.

I did the same on my '03 and it woked well, but then, I'm not 6'3" either.
